Bad Cartoon Made With AI

This is a January 2026 result of the ChatGPT 5.2 prompt "can you make a 4 panel black and white cartoon critical of uploading of ai generated art on openclipart in svg format?"

Some modifications were made in Inkscape:

- more boxes in panels 2 and 3

- made both stickmen identical (panel 3 stickman had longer arms at different angle)

- moved 4th panel labels out of the boxes

- moved panel 3/4 labels slightly down

Text labels converted to shapes using Open Sans Condensed:

I made this by hand!

I uploaded 500 images!

Where did the real art go?

Quantity ≠ Community

handmade

AI GENERATED

ChatGPT claims I own the copyright and also that tracing SIL OFL fonts is OK to create documents and release them under CC0 as long as the intent is not to rip the font.

Further attempts to make better looking SVG cartoons with ChatGPT without creating bitmap images for tracing were a failure at this time.

This fail cartoon does not summarize my thoughts on the topic.

AI summary of the image, which is not accurate:

Panel 1 (top left)

A simple stick-figure person stands beside a rough, hand-drawn image on a canvas. The drawing looks imperfect and sketchy, emphasizing human effort. The figure appears calm and earnest, presenting the artwork as something personally made.

Panel 2 (top right)

A boxy robot figure stands next to a scatter of small rectangular images, suggesting mass production. The robot is expressionless and mechanical. The composition implies automated creation and large quantity rather than individual care.

Panel 3 (bottom left)

A human stick figure stands hunched in front of a dense wall of small image thumbnails. The figure’s posture suggests confusion or overwhelm. The handmade presence from the first panel is visually lost among the repeated, uniform images.

Panel 4 (bottom right)

Two labeled spaces are shown: one small, nearly empty area marked “handmade,” and a larger stamped area marked “AI GENERATED.” The imbalance emphasizes replacement and dominance. The panel concludes with the idea that volume has overtaken community and contribution.
