Hey all. It's come to my attention that some people are scooping my comics and changing the captions, adding themselves as as co-creators. Also that some are scooping my comics & adding their own branding. All without permission. PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS.

To all the real artists out there.. do NOT underprice yourself. I stumbled upon an Etsy shop earlier on, selling art prints. They are selling their 5x7 print for CAN $41.08 (there was a 30% off which took it down to CAN $28.75). Honestly.. i was concerned for charging about $20 for my 5x7 🙄

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.

Boromir from THE LORD OF THE RINGS, holding The One Ring. He thought he could use it for good, but everything done with the ring turns to evil. He was one of the mightiest warriors of middle earth, and he could not resist its powers. Others even mightier fell to the ring. Do you think you are stronger than them? The One Ring is generative AI.
