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.

This is the thing I really don't understand about the AI crowd. I would be so much more supportive of companies like openai if they they were pursuing the automation of the dull tasks nobody wants to do, rather than flagrantly breaking copyright laws (the same ones that have been weaponised against normal folks) to create a pale imitation of human creativity.
Like, shit. I want a machine that will do my taxes and fold my laundry so that I have more time to pursue artistic endeavors.
The thing is - it's not hard to automate boring repetitive tasks, and we have been doing it for decades really effectively.
But we can't have people have free time and no worries, right?
Seeing people do something in a couple seconds that could take years of training can be really demotivating
Why ?
(I'm really asking, not trying to convey a point or anything)
I dont know how motivation work, i just know that it happens
