We always lol@people who claim that they can do it, but according to an article in the Brand Eins magazine, the Burda corporation went ahead and built an agent system that can generate pony comics for primary school children on the basis of prompts.So behold, the future:https://lissypony.de/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Lissy-PONY_S1_EN_Comic_Castle-Magica.pdf

>>150557876huh, just skimming it, i wouldn't have suspected it was ai
>>150558025I just recalled that MLP is against the board rules, but I'm honestly posting it as an example of actual commercial AI-generated comics.Can't help that it's off-brand ponies.
>canCheck back in a year, mkay?
>>150557876Looking through it, it just looks like one of those very cheap-looking Vector/sticker comic books like how MLP used to do it. It looks like something you yourself could make with the use of stickers in one of those "Create your own Simpsons gag couch" games.
>>150557876I don't believe that's actually generated from prompts. I could see its creation being aided by AI in multiple ways, but there's no way current AI models can just shit out an entire comic like that.

>>150557876these don't look ai generated at alland these are from 2024 when the technology was significantly worse
Mission successful

>>150557876It looks like the companies involved also released a case study with more details (https://www.burda.com/en/download_media/14043/). It straight up admits to using a lot of steps including "traditional compositing techniques" which may as well be code for "we got a real person to fix things up." Here's the quote:>To ensure maximum quality, we took a layered approach by first generating the background and subsequently placing the characters into the scene one another. For this we used the FLUX Fill model, as well as traditional compositing techniques.And if you keep reading they "solved" the consistency issue with backgrounds by... making 3d models of them. Which begs the question of why not just use the 3d models? Why not just use all the premade assets once they assembled them? Even deeper there's a picture showing how they used AI to place a door on a wall of the background but on closer inspection it didn't even get all of the door parts right. I don't know maybe this could save time down the line but it's like >>150558107 says where it looks stuff you could do already and with less of this rube goldberg machine approach.
>>150560601Toopychads leel winning.
>>150563988>50% faster comic genSeems significant enough for a sloppa product.
>>150563988>Which begs the question of why not just use the 3d models?Because you don't have to retexture them every time. The fact that people are treating controlnets, one of the first things everyone learns about when getting serious into AI art (or "computer generated non-art imagery", whatever, I couldn't care less about the word), as cheating, makes me understand why the conversation between pro- and anti-AI is so impossible.
>>150563988honestly impressive

>>150566097It honestly bugs me that there are THREE pink ponies. I couldn't remember who was who and this is a comic for 5 year olds.
>>150563988That's what figured out myself when I made some lengthy animations with illustrious merges and wan 2.1. You basically have to make backgrounds and characters separately like you would do with traditional animation instead of tardwrangling the AI to do everything at once. Tools are only as good as whoever uses them - AI saves a lot of time but you're gonna spend a lot of time with photoshop anyway unless you just want to make those shitty jeet 3d cat cartoons.
