Impacts Of AI On Comic Art | a conversation recorded at the Montreal Comiccon 6.6.24
What are AI art tools and how are they impacting the livelihoods of comic artists? Sequential Magazine Editor in Chief Brendan Montgomery and the Sequential Comics Blog founder and comics creator Salgood Sam explored the lies, labour issues, harm and possible future impacts of AI on the art of making comic books. This Audio recording is played against the slides that were shown during the event with a few additional illustrative images added. Links for things discussed in the talk: First the panelists sites: https://sequentialpulp.ca/ https://crowdfundr.com/seqmagazine https://linktr.ee/salgoodsam A more involved explanation of Neural Networks. https://www.ibm.com/topics/neural-networks How Neural Networks and Neurons differ. https://towardsdatascience.com/the-differences-between-artificial-and-biological-neural-networks-a8b46db828b7 A more involved explanation of Stable Diffusion. https://poloclub.github.io/diffusion-explainer/ Re some of the labour issues, and false promises and claims of Generative Image video and text platforms are well highlighted by Ed Zitron, check out his writing on this and other topics here, https://www.wheresyoured.at/ And his Better Offline Podcast https://linktr.ee/betteroffline He had a very good chat with Adam Conover recently, that's here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8ByoAt5gCA Conover also talked to Brian Merchant about how the labour impacts of AI will be a thing even IF it's not really capable of doing all that it claims, that's here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJzHmw3Ei-g And he wrote about that here as well. Check out the rest of his blog as well, there's a LOT of good posts about it. https://www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/understanding-the-real-threat-generative Adam Conover has generally been covering Generative AI a lot, here's some of those. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcpn8-4l8DOjCMVuBRhhkyviti70V-p5X&si=4Aa0fXlEPD1l_246 If you're looking to try to 'protect' your work online, or just put sugar in the AI developers gas tanks, consider using Glaze and Nightshade. https://glaze.cs.uchicago.edu/downloads.html https://nightshade.cs.uchicago.edu/downloads.html If you are thinking you'd like to join a guild or union, first think about which might apply to you [depend on your countries labour laws] but here's a couple of links to check out for Cartoonists, and other working artists. https://cartoonist.coop/ https://canadianfreelanceunion.ca/ https://graphicartistsguild.org/ https://www.conceptartassociation.com/ Impacts Of AI On Comic Art | a conversation recorded at the Montreal Comiccon 6.6.24
