South Korea erupts in a large-scale boycott of AI comics to oppose the commercialization of copyright infringement and theft

Now that AI is very popular, various bad applications have also emerged. According to foreign media reports, a large-scale boycott of AI comics and WEBTOON comics has recently erupted in South Korea, strongly opposing plagiarism and illegal commercialization for profit.

Although the paper comics market is far behind Japan, online comics and vertical webtoon comics are quite developed and popular in South Korea. What triggered the boycott this time is the increasing number of online comics and vertical webtoon comics generated by AI. Opponents said that AI has no originality, AI comics have no copyright protection, and AI is copying and piracy, etc.

·With the rapid development of AI, more and more non-professionals can surpass the years of accomplishments accumulated by professionals in certain professional fields by relying solely on AI. AI comics are one of them. The comics pieced together by AI not only have extremely beautiful pictures, but also have ups and downs and fascinating plots. Perhaps the only complaint is that "I always feel like I have seen it somewhere."
