Tbf, her issue with AI art is that is now possible to prompt “make me a 4 panel comic where x happens, in the style of Sarah Anderson”. Her reasoning is this might make it harder to find her real comics, and devaluate them because there is no quality control. Which are valid points. However, in the two or so years AI imaging had been around, I haven’t seen it happen jet. My guess is this is because people without talent also will not have ideas for comics. On the other hand, it just takes one person staffing for a political campaign to think of it and the artist is basically screwed.
