I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, and I apologize for that. But yes, I truly did think this through before saying it. I wasn't saying it purely to try and cause harm. It was my genuine reaction to reading your comic here.
The uncanny valley of the bot-stolen artwork made the art unenjoyable to me despite my BE fetish. The writing also couldn't make up for the uncanny valley and guilt of being an accessory to eco-terrorism and art theft because it was so full of typos and poor grammar. Those are my genuine thoughts after giving your comic a fair shot and doing my best to come at it in good faith.
I've found writing that was good enough that I could enjoy the story even if I couldn't enjoy the art, but I couldn't apply that exception here. I'm sorry that I couldn't enjoy your comic despite trying my best.
But even if you're not charging for it, I have to question why that makes theft okay. If I steal someone's lawn ornament and gift it to someone else, I still stole it. None of the artists that had their art stolen to feed into the machine-learning algorith to procedurally generate the images were paid, credited, or asked for permission to have their art used and the anti-environmentalist destruction that the image generator uses doesn't seem worth it.
I also have to question why someone eager to improve as a writer, artist, and game developer would willingly want to be associated with data hacking, uncanny valley, art theft, "exaggerated cartoon communist meme" thinking where everything belongs to everyone, con artist tech bros who jumped to "AI images" as the "the future" after the NFT bubble birst, eco-terrorism almost on the level of cryptomining, con marks who are too stupid to understand how AI images work via art theft, the attempt from corporations to replace artists so they don't have to pay them, and wanting to side against the many, many, many starving artists who worked hard for years to gain their skills only to have their work stolen by machine-learning algorithms to replace them with procedural generation. It just seems incredibly self-contradictory to me that you would want to improve as an artist while supporting the replacement of artists using machines stealing their work. AI images have no soul. I may not be an artist, but I'm a writer and I can never see the appeal in procedurally-generated stories like ChatGPT when they lack any soul or heart and steal from writers such as myself.
