Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

It's a good read, but I'm not sure if it's a good take. This seems very emotionally-driven and not really logical. Someone could make low quality Ghibli style images by hand in large quantities. Is that just as bad?

Evidently they didn't do it, though, so AI does fundamentally change the issue. AI is both cheaper and faster than human content creators once your model is trained (the energy use might be an externalized cost, though) and so far it is also a lot harder to sue.
Great read
I had my brother do this to me yesterday. My hate for those vampires grow more and more everyday.
Honestly I think whatever this Ghibli trend is about, it's just good advertisting for the real Studio Ghibli.
Ghibli
I don't get it. :(
The comic's creator, whose OC is on the left, cares about art and finds the AI generated Ghibli fakes to be soul-less and a net negative to the world. It makes him want to kill himself.
Kill himself, but also killing the person who used the soulless machine to ape that iconic art style.
Hes killing them through himself. He wants to exact both vengeance and to cease to be at the same time.
Which is really reprehensible, because if you're going to kill someone, you need to look them in the eye as you dart past the swing of their knife and plunge your own into their chest behind the truck stop where my greyhound was refueling on that rainy night in 1991
... when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell?
No, it was when that guy's idiot son Roger first got beat with jumper cables.
Yea. Just realized he's about to off both of them.
It's beautiful really

AI starts looking more like a fashion industry than a technology product, the trends are repeating. Last time style transfer was popular was 10 years ago.
Is he back to making comics for buzzfeed?
His redemption arc has been pretty good
God forbid someone do something harmless that brings them an iota of joy.
From the environmental impact, to the social impact to the personal impact absolutely no part of it is harmless.
