- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I mostly agree with his take. But I was a bit disappointed when he began to cover using tools to aid art and didn't talk about using AI as a tool to aid art as opposed to simply generating it completely. There are some insane AI tools you can use now that save loads of time and don't take away from your artistic expression.
But he did, though.
I thought that was the whole point of him bringing it up.
He said, we have tools (like magic lasso) that let you skip the boring part of art, so you can get to the creative part. AI can be like that; a tool that let's you skip having to do backgrounds so you can focus on flying rat monstrosities.
He doesn't use it that way, but he acknowledges that you can.
It's just that most AI "art" usage is skipping putting in creative effort at all.
He did, he talked about generating backgrounds for works so you can focus on illustrating the subject. A brief touch om the subject, but he acknowledged AI is a tool that can be used as a part of a process rather than replacing the process entirely, and that those two things are different.
