Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
Rules
-
😇 Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
🏘️ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
🧬 Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
📋 Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
📬 Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.
-
🏴☠️ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,

🍿 Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists
The following artists are banned from the community.
- Jago
- Stonetoss
- GPrime85
It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
Web Accessibility
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

Then this played… https://youtube.com/shorts/SM8C1eesXeo
Oh hey look, an AI slop channel.
Good lord… isn’t that Jung?? That’s not an actual interview? Those are not his ideas?
I got completely taken.
How can you tell? I need to get better at this.
look at the smoke effect coming from his pipe. it runs forward and in reverse, and most importantly, it's coming out from the mouthpiece.
Yeah… I noticed that and I thought it was an artifact of an ancient clip… until I watched it emerging and returning to the mouthpiece. Good catch.
Now I need to verify how close the text is…
And… apparently he never used the word empath… good grief.
There's a few indicators. First, as others mentioned, there's the smoke. Then there's the way he moves; if you watch all of him at once instead of focusing on details, you'll notice that he tends to start or stop moving all at once, or limbs move without it impacting the rest of him.
Audio is easier; sometimes there's a weird buzzy quality to his voice that is fairly distinctive when you notice it. Most voice cloning AIs have that. The occasionally stilted speech patterns are masked by the foreign accent unfortunately.
Thank you. I think I need to spend a lot of time getting good at picking out these details.

Hi SparroHawk,
I hope it’s okay if I ask if you can tell me if this is AI:

I’m having trouble believing anything at this point.
I think that one is real. The audio has that buzz which initially made me suspicious, but the video seems clean. Natural, subtle movements that affect his whole body, no stilted speech patterns, and the way he rambles about Beverly Hills is something an AI typically wouldn't produce. The camera moves slightly, and you can see it jump slightly between cuts as well.
I went to the fuckai community and brought up the idea of a community dedicated to conversations like these. One participant suggested a community called slopornot— I love it. Would you be interested?
As regards the Zappa video, I’m stuck on that his hair doesn’t move… it still could be real… I don’t know… likely is…
I'd be amused enough to join a community like that, but honestly I don't use social media enough to actually be able to support it in any significant way.
First — I believe there would be a sub here where people can do exactly what I am doing now… and that’s ask people with an eye to fissuring out AI if a vid is AI.
So… is this one: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPbvQj5EVC6/
Sora watermark at the top is the smoking gun; Sora is an AI video generator.
No buttons on the guy's shirt.
Buzzy voice quality, audio is crisp and lacking background noise despite being outdoors with no visible mic.
Surfaces on face and shirt are weirdly smooth, and lighting is too even.
Wait… it comes from an account with AI in the name. There’s a clue.
Okay… but what else?
