- Reposted by Jenny RobinsWhen making a comic for example, you find yourself in deep water a lot. That scene you had an idea for? You don't really know how to block it out, how to make it come to life. So you research, you think, you work. AI bros think just having the idea is the thing. It's barely the entry point.
