Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I'd say vote/rebel/protest for Universal Basic Income or any other form of economy where you aren't forced to work or die.
While I wholeheartedly agree that universal basic income should be a thing, I still think it’s deeply problematic that unthinking machines replace people specifically in fields of artistic expression.
While AI can produce pretty convincing images in many styles, the actual expression of experience, feelings and general humanity is gone. Even disregarding the hardship of the artists being replaced (or assuming UBI will be a satisfying solution for them), that loss in itself is a good enough reason to be skeptical.
The main reason for the existence of art is to share human experience, and to be able to experience the world from another perspective than your own. This is a hugely important role in society that is very easily overlooked, and one that is completely lost with naïve use of AI.
