I make ai comics

I've noticed there's a lot of debate here about AI art versus traditional art, and I wanted to share where I'm coming from as a comic creator.

My comics don't begin with AI. They begin with things I've made by hand—sculpting in clay, drawing with ink, designing characters, and building the stories myself. Those are the creative foundations of my work. Sometimes I use AI as one tool in my workflow, but it doesn't replace the writing, the worldbuilding, or the original artwork I've spent time creating.

I completely understand why some artists are concerned about AI. There are real conversations to be had about ethics, consent, and how models are trained. Those concerns deserve to be taken seriously.

What I struggle with is how quickly the conversation can become personal. Instead of asking creators about their process, people sometimes jump straight to insults or assume the worst. I'd rather have honest discussions than accusations.

Whether you love AI, hate it, or fall somewhere in the middle, I think we're better off talking about how people create than attacking each other for the tools they use. At the end of the day, we're all trying to tell stories and make comics that connect with readers.

I'm genuinely interested in hearing other creators' perspectives—as long as we can keep the conversation respectful.
