Good morning, my friend,
Have you heard of Artificial Intelligence, aka A.I.? If you’re on the Internet in any capacity, you’re probably sick of hearing about it.
Since this is a brand about Comics, A.I. keeps coming up because there is an increasing potential to use it to write and even draw comics, at least in part.
Therefore, I want to hear from you. What do you think about the use of A.I. in comic creation? Is it a threat to your favorite art form, or is it just another tool?
Do you think A.I. will fundamentally change how comics get made, or will publishers and indie creators use it as one of several tools in their creative toolbelt?
More importantly, what are the biggest fears, worries, and horror stories you’ve heard about A.I.? Let your voice be heard in the Comments below.
Next, our Pick of the Week for the most entertaining comic is…

Sigh... There's no denying that AI is a tool. Like any tool they can be used for good or bad. Sometimes I use it to help get me out of writer's block. I never copy the words, partly because AI didn't understand the context. But also because i needed a direction on what to write about when I have the elements. So I translate what ChatGPT said to me my way.
As for comics, one thing I would not mind as much is AI being used for variant covers. I know a lot of artists make money through that but if cheapening the most regularly expensive part of making a comic can lead to interior art getting better pay, I'm all for it. And if not, wouldn't mind having less variant covers.
It’s important to note that if AI is used in creation of your product, many platforms require that you state that. Also, the copyright office will not accept anything created by AI. So be very wary of these restrictions if you are using AI to create your product.
