I'm retouching strips for Hogan's Alley #25. A friend suggested I use AI to restore the work. I said no, but I was curious to see what it would do, so I sent him a sample. The top is the restored source material, and the bottom is the AI "restoration." And that, dear reader, is why I don't use AI.

I can tell you from experience that of people actually read and shared stories about Trump and crypto, more people would know. The stories are written. And ignored.
