At Lake Como Comic Art Festival, where comic art reigns supreme, the debate over artificial intelligence (AI) rages. Artists like David Mack and Gary Frank share their views on how AI might alter their craft.
Mack, creator of Kabuki and regular at Como for years, believes in the tactile value of handmade art: 'We're not machines, we're people.' He envisions a future where human art becomes more precious due to its uniqueness.
Frank, known for his work on Hulk, worries about AI's impact on up-and-coming artists. He fears the next generation might face challenges from dishonest actors using AI to fake their work.
The festival, a tranquil retreat for comic artists, highlights the growing importance of these spaces in preserving human creativity against AI’s encroachment.
