In Japanese folklore, yogen no tori is a bird of prophecy that resembles a two-headed crow with one white head and one black head. These yokai have the ability to speak, and appear as messengers of the gods to deliver important information to humanity, including warnings about epidemics. 1/2

Comic-Con should be a celebration of illustrators, comic artists, writers and so on. Elevating the actual craftsmen and women who make the works that fans love! Instead it opens the door to slop that can only exist due to the stolen work of those same creatives, to then displace creatives. Gross!
Screenshot of the artshow page on the comicon website. Specifically here

(3) Material produced by Artificial Intelligence (AI) may be placed in the show, but only as Not-for-Sale (NFS). It must be clearly marked as Al-produced, not simply listed as a print. If one of the parameters in its creation was something similar to "Done in the style of ‹specific artist›," that information must be added to the description. If
there are questions, the Art Show Coordinator will be the sole judge of acceptability.
