Don’t listen to the haters, keep exploring your creativity. If you feel like drawing, go for it. if not, or you don’t have enough time, use whatever tool you want instead. I would only caution on getting too attached to proprietary tools like OpenAI.
sniff sniff
smells like AI, come back with a handdrawn version or proof it’s not
if you can’t draw it’s okay, draw it anyway, you won’t learn by telling a water waster to do it for you

Smells like hater. Come back with a valuable comment or proof of your reason for existence.
If you can’t say anything nice, it’s okay. Don’t say anything at all.

i’d rather receive negative feedback and know what to improve than no feedback at all and be clueless as to why people don’t care about my works.
using the plagiarism machines to generate things for you is widely frowned upon in every creative industry
“You aren’t allowed to make a quick joke unless you spend countless hours developing your art skills”.
You people are weird.
countless hours? find three .pngs in google, a pangolin, a chair, and a desk. put them together in something barely more advanced than paint (so opacity is preserved), and it’s done. time to learn that skill: 10min max, time to use that skill after the initial learning time: 2min per image
it doesn’t have to be good, it doesn’t have to be drawn, it can be 3 pictures smushed together that’s okay, what it does have to be, in my opinion, is made by a person. Not a glorified plagarism water boiler
Pangolin had it coming, setting up meetings without looking at coworkers’ calendars. Fuck you, discount armadillo, you’re not more important than me!
How dare you besmirch pangolin. Pangolin is best animal.
He abuses his cuteness to avoid consequences. He’s a sociopath, is what he is!
AI can generate an absolutely perfect pangolin, but keyboards? Mathematically impossible!
I take it you didn’t like my comic, then?
I’m not a fan of AI but I did like your comic premise.
Since I can’t draw, but I still have ideas, this seemed like the best way. ADHDinos is basically like the same 3 images over and over and no one seems to mind that. Plus, I shudder at the thought of trying to vector trace all those pangolin scales. I’m glad you liked it though.
Everyone can draw. You mean that you aren’t practiced yet, which is perfectly fine and everyone starts that way. If you want to make comics, then make comics. Don’t waste time and energy on AI slop that doesn’t bring the same meaning as something a person made, however inexperienced they may be.
Just ignore the anti AI dumbasses and keep doing what you’re doing. This is literally one of the best use cases for AI - to allow people to explore their creativity in the avenue of their choice.
it’s not exploring shit though, you aren’t learning how to make art by having an AI generate it for you. OP is exactly where they were before they “made” it, still as unable to create art as before, not a single tiny step forward.
The author is exploring their comedian skills, not their drawing skills.
clearly they want their comedian skill to be supported by an image of sorts, or they’d just write text
If Dinosaur Comics can write utterly classic comics using the same exact clipart every time, you can do it too.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I was honestly hoping the Lemmy anti-AI knee-jerk responses would not have bled over into this community, but clearly that hope was in vain.
come on over to db0 and hang out with us! would be welcome here. good comic.
Homie you’re gonna face that everywhere, not just Lemmy. GenAI is built on the intellectual property theft of thousands of artists. Nobody is going to applaud you for taking an unethical shortcut.
This got me thinking… Is there a place on Lemmy where you can post an idea, and others collaborate to improve it?
Like a drawing, or like other stuff?
Like when you have a joke in mind but can’t draw it, or when you write a song but can’t get the melody right, and so on.
Just draw some doodles, you have enough talent to draw some simple characters, you’ll get better over time and I am sure you’ll have more fun doing it. Think of all the rage-comics 15 years ago, all trash level ms-paint art, massive and long lasting impact on pop-culture. Talent isn’t required for memes, just ideas!
XKCD is literally stick figures, for example, and has more or less remained stick figures since its inception.
You don’t have to vector trace. Just try your best freehand with simple shapes and get better over time. A lot of digital drawing software has pen smoothing and you can adjust the paths after the fact if you use Inkscape/Illustrator.
I was going to say I don’t have the desire to devote the time it would take, but then I realized: I have never tried drawing digitally before. And I totally already have everything I need to do it. And now I am intrigued.
