    I could say something political here, but it’s not “that kind” of comic.

    Last year, WGA (Writer’s Guild of America) and SAG/AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild/American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) went on strike over AI. Now there is talk from animators about taking action over AI as well. AI can be a useful tool, but not if eliminates human input altogether. I don’t know that much about AI, admittedly, but I believe art needs human input to flourish. I would like to see the next Congress (after the election) pass the kind of legal guardrails for AI the EU did a few years ago.

    If a British subject kneels before Queen Elizabeth, is he being disrespectful?

    If a devout parishioner kneels in church, is it because she loathes God?

    If an ardent swain kneels before his beloved while proposing, does he hate her?

    Was that gal from Kent State disrespecting the student shot by the Ohio National Guard?

    OK, I’ll grant that anyone kneeling before Daenerys Targaryen or General Zod was probably doing so more out of fear than admiration, but you get the idea. When did kneeling become equated with lack of respect?

    Think about it. How did comic book creators learn their trade? It was by reading and studying the works of others, either consciously or unconsciously. These kind of questions are going to keep at least one generation of lawyers fully employed before AI lawyers …
