A two-panel SMBC comic contrasting two kinds of artists' reactions to AI image generation. Panel 1, under a red banner reading "ARTISTS WHO DRAW ELABORATE PAINTINGS FOR A LIVING": a woman leans back anxiously at her laptop, saying "AI can steal my style and create thousands of images in seconds. Something has to be done!" Panel 2, under a red banner reading "ARTISTS WHO DRAW IDIOTIC JOKES FOR A LIVING": a relaxed red-haired woman at her laptop says "Ha. You will never come up with 'clown sends a dick pic,' machine." The joke: lowbrow gag artists feel safe from AI because their absurd ideas are too weird to automate. Votey (small follow-up panel): a crudely drawn stick figure behind a computer says "I get it, but I don't 'get it.'"
