I think we have enough data to show if you're arresting elderly human rights lawyers you are not the good guys in this story.

Goes out far too much, really should settle down and relax. Seriously - you have ants in your pants?
![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.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:udzkh2jubo3w6ei42ftanhhj/bafkreienll3o4kbt6srhmsbo3wzlxmns7h6sjewulopapubzjbgjqtaovq)
