We have a very strict policy now to not feature AI strips on downthetubes, in response to the widely reported theft of artists work to create the engines that drive the AI platforms. While it is possible to ring fence one artist’s work on a server and utilise that solely for AI art generation, and pay that artist for the use of their work, almost none of the AI companies chose to go that route, or license art directly with creators, preferring theft instead. Other than with a view to featuring AI as a discussion item, or where a single artist has taken the decision to feed their own work into an AI engine, and states they have provided it with permission, for those reasons, we have decided we will not feature AI comics, unless AI platforms compensate original creators.
