I know there a mix of love and hate around it but is it posible to make a comic/manga or something using mostly free ai tools. i cant draw really anyhting but stickmen and ai i find cool but my pc is low end-ish so i cant run locally ai, are there any free ones or software/things needed to test some things out.

or should i just learn to draw, becasue i am going thru some though times in my life once again so im not sure but im also bored, so theres that.

    yes it’s possible with a bit of effort. you have to do the panels/layout yourself, and getting ai image generators to spit out consistent character/outfit/style can be tricky/difficult, but people have done it. if you can’t run stable diffusion yourself you might be out of luck tbh.

    Here’s somebody who did something similar in stable diffusion and chatgpt - https://online.fliphtml5.com/bhbms/rfbg/#p=2

    I’ve seen some others out there. So yes it’s doable, but leaves a lot to be desired and isn’t some kind of turnkey thing. There’s still quite a bit of skill in turning prompts into useful content.

    Importantly, you probably can’t copyright the art from an AI-drawn comic.

    That means you can feel free to use it as a medium of self-expression, but shouldn’t expect to be able to make a career out of it.

      For a more comprehensive understanding of this topic, I recommend watching Legal Eagle lawyer’s detailed explanation. He presents the issue as a spectrum, taking into consideration the implications of limiting copyright on content generated or assisted by AI. For instance, should strict restrictions be imposed, using functionalities like Photoshop’s content-aware fill with the intent to copyright the work could be disallowed. He characterizes this as an extreme conclusion if we prohibit AI from contributing to any part of the process.

      Legal Eagle lawyer explains that it’s feasible to generate artwork using AI, and then further modify it using one’s personal input. This alteration could be sufficient to justify that significant human effort has been applied, thereby allowing a claim for copyright.

      Furthermore, the emergence of careers centered on AI is not merely a possibility, but a foreseeable reality. Utilizing detection methods, ironically, can serve to enhance the AI - a characteristic of how Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN AI) function. Consequently, these advancements provide more opportunities, rather than limit them, as some might perceive.
