Last time I interacted with a wannabe comics writer botlicker insisting I was just angry because AI would replace me, I told him it would replace him far more easily and his inability to see that made it clear why he'd never make it as a writer in the first place.

EMERGENCY CAT SURGERY, SHARE MY PINNED 🏳️‍⚧️ @pavlovforgoths.com · 1d

the discourse on what jobs are acceptable to replace with generative AI reveals a lot about what we think of other people's jobs

recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence lies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

Perhaps iUniverse will require something from me to pacify their hurt feelings after I post this review of their services.
(I did not do business with them, I wrote this because a third party came to me for help.)

Frankly, I got too much mileage to fall for this crap.
substack.com/home/post/p-...

Hello AUTHOR,

I wish there was something I could say to pacify your hurt feelings. But seriously, you need to take time to ponder about what you have done so far to market your book because I don’t see anything about it that’s remotely significant or serious. The authors that have made significant strides in promoting their book rightly deserve what they reap because they take action instead of complaining and blaming others for their failure. We are here to help but if you don’t like our gesture, we will as you say, kindly refrain from doing it. However, we are here to serve everyone without prejudice so we will continue to be available to you in case you’ll need our help someday.

With kind regards.

Jed Michael

This was the DC Who’s Who entry for Commander Steel from the All Star Squadron in the 80s. It was photocopied through the overlay that had the background image, so the figure is slightly fuzzy. Had to do the background layer separately so they could print it in blue or magenta.
