its such an embarrassment of an "article"

If you hand the keys to a Ferrari to someone that knows how to drive but without any proper training, they’re gonna grind that gearbox to dust and wrap themselves around a telephone pole. This is a post about artificial intelligence graphic novels.

"The system spends time studying the story". No it doesn't.

"But Kristy, illustrator sounds classy/important/special." No, it sounds dismissive and like we don't appreciate the craft! The skill! The sheer amount of work and thought that goes into sequential art!

they really think pacing and layout is just a tool or something, it's stressful

Okay but all those decisions are the most fun part of comics! These people absolutely don't understand what the whole point is, dear God.

🫩 aside from everything else that sucks about this, I hate the complete disregard of the fact that novels and comics are a different medium that needs to have their story beats adapted and presented differently

I should also say that recently, like the last 10-15 years or so specifically, the quality of so many graphic novels has gone through the roof, and I don't know if this is just a culture change or if new digital art tools or what caused this but it's pretty neat to watch.

We're all pretending that George Jetson actually knew stuff when he showed up to the Sprocket factory to push the button before going to take a nap.

Don’t we all aspire to make enough money to buy a Ferrari and then hand it over to someone else to drive? How are all of these CEOs so stupid
