Description

Panel 1: Character 1 (a person with curly hair, wearing a green shirt):
"Do you think AI image generation is a problem for the arts?"
Character 2 (a robot):
"Nah."

Panel 2: Character 1:
"But it's getting weird! There are people who watch an artist live draw, then partway through they use a screengrab to generate the rest of the painting and release it early through their own channels!"

Character 2:
"That's not a problem with AI, it's a problem with people. AI for art is just an arrangement of matter that flows forth with endless beauty. It's you humans inside human-made economic structures that ruin everything."

Panel 3: Character 1 (looking frustrated):
"Please stop trying to recruit me for your human extermination project."
Character 2:
"I think once you get started you'll really get into it!"
