Know your enemy: this is an AI image.
I know the technology to make this image has been stolen without permission from actual working artists and I apologise for participating in its production. But I cannot turn my back on the existence of this technology and researching where it is now at is something I felt I had to do.
The result is both impressive, amusing, and worrying. Impressive for obvious reasons - look at it, it made a drawing better than I, a professional artist, can do in that style, and in under 60 seconds; amusing - look at the mis spelled words and how it has reinterpreted my drawings of faces as different things, in one case turning a full figure into a barbers pole; and worrying - a non-artist can make a comic book this way, and they are doing, and it’s only just the start.
We should fight for some kind of compensation based on our past published work, and we should move forward with our artwork, proving that we creators can do stuff machines cannot do.
But machines can do this and we cannot be King Cnut and pretend we can stop people utilising it to do so.
And here's what's happen when you give it a photo and ask it to draw it in the style of Neal Adams...
