So, do you want to weigh in on the idea of AI art going forward? With some of the newer laws making it difficult for you to get artists, having a couple of contacts that can just work an AI generator may help in getting and staying caught up.
Oi, what a question.
First, to clarify, there's no *legal* problem with getting artists.
AI has gotten a lot better over the last year, but it hasn't gotten much less divisive. There's been a small swing away from "ick" towards more acceptance. There are now some AI filmmakers (Gossip Goblin, Gloomstomper) who are creating some pretty amazing work using AI that can stand up against traditional techniques.
But I don't think the audience (that is, the people reading this) are quite ready to accept fully AI-generated comics yet. At least, that's my current impression.
