As part of a previous article looking at concerns about the use of AI in recent comic books, the cover artist Jingxiong Guo, or Daxiong, was accused by some people on social media of doing such for recently announced Shazam, Wonder Woman and Power Girl covers.
The Shazam covers look ok but the Power Girl and Wonder Woman are sus 
These also got plenty of play on social media. Very shortly afterwards, Jingxiong Guo posted the following sketches to his Instagram page, as if to answer such claims.
At the time, a DC spokesperson said "DC Comics has longstanding policies in place that all artwork must be the artist's original work. We are looking into the specifics of this situation." Well, Bleeding Cool has learned that DC Comics has now pulled the cover and has replaced them with the following, from Dave Johnson, Dan Panosian, and Cully Hamner.
Hey if we get more Power Girl art then it's all win/win 
Jingxiong Guo told YouTuber Vinicius, or 2quadrinhos, "I haven't used AI, but I am an artist who was hurt in this witch hunt. I've been in this industry for over thirty years and my drawing has always been traditional by hand." He did, however, say, "I am not against AI; I think it belongs to the field of science. It doesn't concern me, and actually, the development of AI has nothing to do with me, but I am grateful that AI can provide me with accurate translations."
Good optics there Jing. 
Why had the covers changed? "DC and I considered changing the cover because the controversial image might affect their sales. It does not mean it proves that it is an AI work." These are the new solicitations as they currently stand.
Choice Comments
The replacement covers look more like AI work than the originals do.
I wonder if DC had an expert confirm these were, in fact, generated by AI.
Literally look at the guy's Instagram, where he frequently shows himself drawing with pen and paper, and the stylistic results are identical to these drawings. He has a weird style, he's not using AI. A bunch of reactionary psychos are trying to ruin this guy's career when he has ample evidence going back years that this is just how he draws.
I'm terrified of AI too. I hate the dangers it poses to all creative media. But these psychotic witch hunts must stop.
These robots are taking all our jobs! And our women!

!nooticers !anime !comicshitters ever nootice how the ones who are the most "terrified" of, and hateful towards AI are always the most generic and unoriginal capeslop/weebslop artists and writers, that are physically unable to come up with an original premise in the oversaturated entertainment industry?
Neighbor of course you are terrified of AI, because even a mentally challenged toddler can come up with something more creative than the exact same shit that has been vomited in the comic/capeslop/anime business for over a decade, just come up with something different and interesting for once and then this wouldn't be that much of a big deal.

I won 3rd place in a short story contest at my uni.
It was about a rich white boy who enlists to fight vietcong to rebel against his white man and adopts an old black man as his surrogate father and becomes distraught when his surrogate father gets shot by a vietnamese and war crimes them and then finds out his surrogate black father was actually shot by racist southern white boys because he outranked them so he shoved one into a tiger trap and watches him bleed out and the story ends.
Moral of the story? Didn't have one. Just wrote bullshit that was mostly coherent.
Captivating to California literary college wokescolds who afraid of war and violence? Absolutely.
Prize? $25 gift card to Jamba Juice.
Shit, I throw in 1 Vietnamese "Me luv u long time" prostitute with a heart of gold (just for you
@BWC) and turn it into a movie script I could probably make money on it.

Its kinda redpilled me on "creatives", I used to have this idealistic view that they entered the field because they were genuinely inspired and had a vision or a story to tell. I get now that the majority of them view their craft purely as a tradeskill and just want to shit out generic slop in lieu of getting a real job.

Why do you think this will stop here? Regardless of what a person makes AI can spit it out faster and as technically competent in a fraction of the time

Literally all of these people were on board with automating blue-collar chuds out of gainful employment until the silicon leopards came for their faces first. Their indignant outrage over AI is premium grade life fuel for me and I hope it puts every single one of them out of a job.

This drama was only possible in the first place because Frank Cho kept making Power Girl's tits bigger every issue. Unless you think people were buying those books for the story?

AI spergs coming up with increasingly elaborate explanations as to how artists are now using AI to make covers and just drawing them again anyway to post on social media to hide how AI they are
Also getting mad at him for saying there are actually useful non art uses for machine learning, but r-slur luddites think its all one big skynet so the AI sloop ML is the same as the one finding gene protein target compatibility for researchers.
