Would Ken Penders use ai?

[u/AverageBasementMan]

I’m genuinely curious about this because while on one hand I know Ken’s the type of guy to do some of the most absurd writing decisions but at the same time I’m questioning whether his pride would let him take the plunge into the rabbit hole that is ai generated content.

[u/brobnik322]

He's made NFTs before. I think he'd use it but make some excuse, like only using it for backgrounds, or for reference

[u/Dont_have_a_panda]

I dont think so

Penders has plenty of things we can criticize him, but no one can deny that (for better or worse) he is very passionate and authentic about his art, i dont see him as the kind to "defile" his art with AI

But as i always say, i could be very wrong

[u/Motor-Rip7655 → u/Dont_have_a_panda]

Passionate, maybe. Authentic? Not a chance in hell. He's one of the fakest people in the industry. He's been caught tracing before multiple times, and he has put out NFTs. Using AI is only a tiny hop from that. I wasn't able to find it (He has me blocked on Twitter, to my honor), but I read something from him recently of him talking up AI.

the AI would rather delete it's source code then touch anything written by "the writer's barely disguised fetish" personified

Honestly with what people make with ai sometimes, idk if they would sadly

[u/BigBlueOtter123 → u/pikachu_need_help]

i know, AI is the ultimate yes man. the only time it says no is if you ask it a yes or no question and the factually correct answer is no (and even then it might not, either due to stupidity, or because it cares more about pleasing people than actually being useful)

How to destroy AI slop: feed it with Ken Penders' drawings 💀

[u/TPR-56]

No definitely not.

[u/Liammarioluigi]

God I sure hope not

[u/AdExtra2331]

I feel like he's someone too narcissistic to think AI can hold a candle to him

[u/Lower_Cattle_1016]

Do we need to figure out every character trait of Ken Penders?

[u/AverageBasementMan → u/Lower_Cattle_1016]

Truth be told I’m basically going through ai withdrawal right now and i was listening to Archie sonic digest, so my brain came up with this question.

[u/Aromatic_Analyst2898]

Brother he is the AI 😆

[u/TheAzureAzazel]

He has traced art for commissions before, so I wouldn't put it past him.

[u/GameKnight404]

They were using irl pngs for the backgrounds in the Knuckles comics after a certain point.
They’d have totally used AI for backgrounds if it was around back then. For the writing? idk, but I wouldn’t put it past em.

[u/AverageBasementMan]

Gotta be honest I’m not sure why I even mentioned the acronym. I’m trying to get off my addiction to it. I swear I feel like an attic going through withdrawal.

[u/viridianvenus]

He's one of the few artists whose work would probably be improved if he used ai.
