In addition, I found daxiong’s personal opinion video on AI painting in December 2022 on his personal YTB channel. Because my native language is Chinese and not English, I attach the original Chinese text to avoid ambiguity.

youtube

(Google translator is used below) 12:41-13:11 Regarding AI painting, what are these artists protesting against? I also read the points where they protested, and I saw that they were full of passionate words with indignation: "You are just playing games." AI is not an artist, we are the real artists." I think they are a little self-proclaimed. What we need is a product, unless I am interested in you as a person.

14:51-15:32 To be honest, I don’t think I can object to AI painting. I don't think these painters' protests achieved anything either. Because even if the laws of this society protect your copyright, they cannot stop the advancement of technology. Scientific and technological progress is inevitable and will inevitably eliminate the cost of manual labor. Artists are unlucky now. What was unlucky before was that various industries were replaced by artificial intelligence.

What follows is my personal opinion. As an illustrator and a fan of DC Comics, what I can't understand is that you want to ridicule artists who insist on drawing, At the same time, you have to use AI to pass off your hand-painted works to gain reputation and money (you also feel that using AI is immoral in your heart, right?).

另外我在daxiong的个人YTB频道找到了他在2022年12月关于ai绘画的个人看法视频。因为我的母语是中文不是英语，所以我附上了中文原文来避免歧义。

（以下使用谷歌翻译器） 12：41-13：11 关于AI绘画，那么这些艺术家他们抗议的是什么呢？他们抗议的点我也看了，我看见他们满篇激昂的文字愤慨不已“你们只是在玩游戏 ai不是艺术家，我们才是真正的艺术家”我认为他们有些自卖自夸了，我们需要的是产品，除非我对你这个人感兴趣。

14：51-15：32其实说老实话，我觉得我反对不了AI绘画。我也不认为这些画家的抗议有什么结果。因为即使这个社会的法律保护你的版权，但也阻挡不了科技前进的脚步。科技进步是必然的，必然淘汰人力的手工业成本。现在倒霉的是艺术家，之前倒霉的是各种行业都被人工智能所替代罢了。

接下来是我个人的看法。我作为一个插画家和DC漫画的粉丝，我不能理解的是你既要嘲讽那些坚持绘画的艺术家，同时又要使用ai来冒充自己的手绘作品以博得声誉和金钱（你心底里也觉得使用ai是不道德的对吗？）。

Hey, I think the new Power Girl and Wonder Woman variant covers might be AI

look, I’m no artist, but I think I’m pretty decent at spotting AI “art” when I come across it. There’s usually just this weird look about it that causes me to raise a metaphorical eyebrow, and if I look closer, I can find the inconsistencies in it a real artist wouldn’t make.

Both of these variants were made by Daxiong, I’m not familiar with their artwork and tried looking them up and their usual style is very different than what they had this time around.

Let’s start with the Power Girl cover:

At first glance it looks fine, but if you look closer you can spot the inconsistencies

There are these weird ribbons? or hair? just popping up from her head and belt that kind of connect but are just confusing to look at

The belt itself is very inconsistent

The hair ends differently in places compared to the rest of it

There are lines in weird places

And for the Wonder Woman cover, I admit, I don’t think I spotted as many, but there are still areas where it looks weird

The lines on her “W” belt are inconsistent

The lines on her armband/gauntlet thing are all over the place with no coherence

And the symbols on her shield don’t really look like anything and they just fade away

Like I said, I’m no artist, but this looks like the work of AI to me.

I hope I’m wrong, I don’t want to see people using AI “art” at all, let alone professionals in the comics industry. But if this is actually AI, I don’t think people should buy these covers if the “artist” didn’t even think it was worth their time to actually put effort in and make them.

daxiong在2023年年底发布的作品与他之前的手绘风格相差甚远， 100%的AI生成作品，我不想要花钱买到几秒钟生成出来的电子垃圾。
