A breathtaking illustration from the Jim Cutlas book-L'Alligator Blanc, by Cristian Rossi. I don't know why, but Rossi feels little known outside France, despite one of his books being translated into English.

Danielle Lorick (@daniellelorick.bsky.social) reply parent
Line stabilizers do alter what ends up on the canvas, so they “create” in the sense of modifying output, they follow fixed ai algorithms to smooth or predict your strokes. We have just become so accustomed to using it, much like autocorrect in writing, so it really is just a sense of this vs that
Danielle Lorick (@daniellelorick.bsky.social) reply parent
I see your point, reddit is toxic, but theft is theft, and claiming someone else's art as your own, background or not, is stealing
Danielle Lorick (@daniellelorick.bsky.social) reply parent
AI assists in tablet art = pose generators, auto-coloring, line stabilizers, generative fill, and background/texturing tools.
Danielle Lorick (@daniellelorick.bsky.social) reply parent
When tablet art leans fully on AI crutches, authorship collapses into interface mediation. The “artist” is reduced to parameter-tuning while the model performs the generative labor. This shifts the work from skill acquisition to system dependency.
Danielle Lorick (@daniellelorick.bsky.social)
If you are an artist and you download someone else's art to your tablet, run some tools, use some #ai assistance, and then claim refurbished art as your own, without giving credit to the original artist, you just stole #art. Are you talented? Sure, just like a thief is talented at shoplifting
Danielle Lorick (@daniellelorick.bsky.social) reply parent
They stole another person's art, put in in the tablet, ran the ai tools, and are passing it off as their own art. There's an entire reddit thread going down right now showing what they did. It makes me question their entire portfolio. How often was this done? How often was it missed?
Danielle Lorick (@daniellelorick.bsky.social) reply parent
Funny how “digital art” now often means outsourcing creativity to an algorithm. Tablet + AI assist equals limited skill. Traditional paper demands anatomy, perspective, patience. AI crutches breed homogeneity, not mastery, this is like spaghetti-os compared to homade pasta. Draw on paper. #aiart

For those who have seen Superman (2025) this is "Metamorpho, the Element Man," who made his debut in DC Comics in 1965. This record (with the die-cut cover) was released in 1966, it has a song and story, Metamorpho goes against "Fumo, the Fire Giant."

Comic book writers and raping children are two things I never thought would be in the same sentence. This is disgusting. Let me get this straight, Jarred Lujan, who writes for Dauntless Stories Comics, does not support the police arresting someone for raping a child. A CHILD. #Comicsgate

I thought #comicsgate was bad. Jarred Lujan is probably the most vile person in the comic industry. He has a 13 yr old daughter (Camry Lujan), but wants this man who did sex acts with a 13 yr old released? What is wrong with the comic industry? This cis male writes for Mad Cave, Dauntless Stories

Wow. The comic industry has gone off the deep end. Jarred Lujan of Texas, who is a writer for comic book publishers A Wave Blue World, Mad Cave, and Dauntless Stories, thinks ice shouldn't have arrested a man that raped a 13 year old girl? Seriously? A child. The same age as Jarred's daughter...

Yo, if you're against male cheerleaders in sports, tell me why. I can't think of any reason to not support it. Now on the flip side, if you are for giving elementary aged students graphic novels that teach them how to give oral or insert a finger in kids, tell me why. That's grooming.

Writers against AI forget that spellcheck was one of the first narrow AI tools. It has flagged mistakes and suggested corrections since the 70s. If you use spellcheck & autocorrect yet denounce AI in writing you're standing on sand I'm talking to you Kibblesmith, Jim Lee, Biddulph, Millikin Hacks.
