Making a comic with bad art is the best way to one day make a comic with good art.
When you say you need good art to make comics and that's why you need generative ai, it signals to me the narrowness of your understanding of comics and why it is that you think you can't make them

These days I'm blocking gaming channels posting videos with titles like "INDIE EMBARRASSES AAA STUDIOS AGAIN" Not because I dislike indies, but since I find that approaching a passion project with such negativity completely sucks the joy out of it, even if the negativity is directed somewhere else.
