Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- 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.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Being good at trivia is a skill, too. It's just not the same thing as photography
And yet somehow photographers are still mad at AI users and are posting comments about how people will lose their photography job to something that “isn’t photography”
Please help me understand your logic.
Why would anyone hire a photographer to capture something for them when they could spend 2 hours on Midjourney for free?
they want authentic art/photography?
It doesn't have to be the same thing as photography. If it was the same thing as photography they'd be a photographer. What's important is the results it produces.
Every single time they ignore this point.
No. It isn’t exactly photography, but yes, it does take learning and practice.
They can shit on this stuff all they want. It’s open source, it’s not going away.
Open source doesn't mean much when there's only one computer on the whole planet powerful enough to run the software. Also Midjourney's weights aren't open source, only the list of URLs of images used to train it, many of which have since been taken down
And this is just straight up false
I run automatic1111 at home all the time and make my own models.
Please leave the discussion if you’re going to be providing outright false information.
