Great piece/brilliant strip. Technology has always worked best when used as a tool. Photography needed up capable of creating Art and imagery as powerful as anything anyone could create with a brush; directed/created/captured by the artist at the other end of the lense. To date I haven't seen anyone talented use AI to create art, just cheat. Maybe it will happen but even so Comic's will be as safe as they were during the Fummetti craze.
In fairness; your reference to photography on the strip inspired it! AI may threaten illustrators, but until it can do tiny thumbnails inc. storytelling, camera angles, art direction, lighting, action and a a ton of others I'm forgetting ('depth of field' for background/no background), comics artists are irreplaceable.

Thanks, Mikey. I haven’t heard anyone talk about AI in relation to Fummetti before. That’s really interesting to consider...
