As discussions about the benefits and downsides of the use of generative artificial intelligence (A.I.) in art and literature continue to spread throughout the internet, Marvel comic book writer Daniel Kibblesmith went viral with a thread on social media where he tears into the very notions behind A.I. art, explaining how it has “solved a problem that didn’t exist.”
Kibblesmith, perhaps best known in the world of comics for his Loki series, but who has written a number of comic books for Marvel (plus one of the most brilliant parodies of those awful “Adult Calvin” Calvin and Hobbes comics ever), and who has also written for television (where he was among the writing staff for The Late Show With Stephen Colbert during a period when the show was nominated for an Emmy for its writing five times), explained at the start of his series of posts that the conversation that we should be having about A.I. art is “that people who don’t make or care about art or understand its origins or purpose are replacing it to line their own pockets like they did with retail, food delivery and cabs.”
This then inspired him to go into further detail about his problems with A.I. art, opening with the aforementioned passage about how it is generally just about people who don’t understand art trying to replace it for financial gain, explaining, “People who don’t know how to invent anything except fundraising are using computers to create a world where they can insert themselves as middlemen and pretend they invented everything we already had.”
