Uninvited. My @smh and @theage cartoon.
Single frame. Three people on a couch watching tv. In the middle is a buff guy in sport gear with TShirt marked “SPORT BET FAST”. His feet are up on the coffee table and he’s hugging the others, Mr and Mrs in their team jerseys, uncomfortably close.
Mrs says, “I still don’t understand how he got in here…” Mr says, “It’s probably my fault - I didn’t opt out.”

Slop. My @smh @theage cartoon.
Single frame. Title - instruction: “[place cartoon here - ed]”. Appearance of yellow torn out lined note paper held in place by sticky tape. Text: “The Herald-Sun has this week published an AI cartoon, where previously they might have commissioned one of their (dwindling) stable of artists. And it makes sense. (Not the cartoon.) After all, what is a cartoon, but a picture with a caption and maybe some helpful labels to make a point? In this case, a point the editor who prompted it wanted to make.
I mean, how hard can cartooning be? We would all be doing them if it weren’t for our lack of drawing skill (and some cartoonists aren’t very skilled, let’s face it), and AI means nobody has to pay the outrageous fees that “artists” charge, while they can “borrow” their existing work to train AI. It’s literally a no-brainer!” (Small picture of a brain crossed out) “We can only hope they can keep up the quality, once the AI can only be trained using other AI cartoons.”
