It’s not a zero sum game - the real problem is when it’s competing with paid work
Commissioning an artist to do this is imaginary work - there’s no money to be made here, who commissions a political comic? If you can’t draw, you wouldn’t be doing it
There’s a problem if you’re mass producing slop, or companies are using AI art to avoid paying artists… But this was a clear, human created message delivered by using a fancy tool
And what’s more, this is an important message to spread ASAP.
Can you name a better situation to use Gen image AI, or do you just hate it because of what it is?
A single AI image costs the same amount of energy as half of a full charge on a phone btw, could have just made it yourself or hung out with some artists and pitched them this idea, they would have done it for free if you’re friendly; making this stuff though, not gonna make many artist friends!
