People usually aren't impressed by photocopiers either these days. When you get right down to it, "art" generated by LLMs is just photocopying with more advanced steps. I think a lot of people inherently know this. An LLM isn't an artist, it's a mechanism for replicating what artists do.
I'm,,, not so sure about that? To me, that comic is critical of AI, not necessarily supportive of it. I feel like we're not supposed to take the side of the bearded person, but the three others and their "Why the fuck should I care?" demeanour. Through that lens, I see the hand holding the painting as an intentional riff by the artist, hinting at why the technology might be dismissed by the majority.
I'm perfectly happy to be disproven, but I think one of the worst aspects of AI is the false accusations against legitimate artists. With the subject here being AI, I don't want to be so quick to rule out that the "obvious sign of AI" isn't itself satire.
I don't usually say this, but your observation and opinion are both preposterously wrong, almost to the point of ridicule.
Do you have any evidence that the first post was made by the person who posted it? Any evidence of anyone making it at all? There isn't a watermark or signature anywhere in any panel.
In fact the comic doesn't even comform to any of the panel dimensions and sloppily overflow into the whitespace for no reason, the ear lines of the black haired girl doesnt match in either panel for no reason, the painting doesn't match for no reason...
I could go on nit-picking this shit for you but it's not my job to tell you what's real or fake nor hold your hand through this transition period where you are no longer able to easily spot AI generated fake stuff. That's on you to train yourself to look out for this kinda shit.
You can tell the comic is AI made because despite the the panels with the three people being pretty different, they look equally devoid of life. Also, the massive hand holding the painting.
And the AI generated painting being different the second time it's shown. A human artist probably would have copy and pasted the one they did in the first panel so it stayed consistent.
