      Not the only value, just that it’s the main one. Because we read comics to be entertained, not to marvel at someone’s drawing talent. If comics were only about art quality, then we wouldn’t have stick figure and paint drawings getting upvotes either.

      Like I said, having something hand drawn well is always a huge positive, but it doesn’t make up for trite low denominator content.

      Good content + art > good content + AI > bad content + art

      Going Art > AI no matter what just means you have little perspective and live your life through knee jerk reactions.

      If you go just by content, his comics suck, deal with it.

        Speak for yourself. Sometimes I do, but art style is often a critical value for me. I like Revoy’s art, and have done for over 15 years. I agree that his writing is not always amazing, but I still enjoy his work as a whole.

        If you go just by content

        a) This is a weird definition of “content” - I think most people would include visual art, and b) that’s a big universalising “if” … I don’t think most people only value a comic for it’s words.

          My point is that once you can’t tell, then you’ll go back to judging a comic how you used to (a mix of art content + message content)

          Right now, you first look if it’s AI or not and toss it in the bin if it is. That’s fine but are you going to start chasing down Krita files for everything you see in a month?

          We are seriously close to not being to tell if a comic is AI generated, and I’m talking about raw output from a two sentence prompt.
