This is definitely not the least effort. They could’ve not done the shading between the folds of the clothes, skipped the whorls and swirls on the shovel handle, all sorts of things.
This just seems low-effort now because AI really did prefer this style, and stole it, but this took so much more effort than you’re giving them credit for.
This is exactly why artists hate AI, it doesn’t undervalue their work directly, it gets real people like you to undervalue it. Don’t let AI determine your opinions so easily.
I think this gives off AI vibes precisely because it’s a high-effort comic strip, drawing wise. Normally, comics aren’t high-effort, and this feels sus because “you really put this much effort into making this simple joke?”. Like, the joke is fine but drawing effort is disproportional.

It takes him 10+ hours for a four panel comic, so I don’t know what “least effort” means to you.
