I know what the cartoon is trying to say, but those graphs make no sense

    For real, why is the x axis labeled with the y axis label, and why is the y axis label at the origin?

    Is this AI, or just someone that slept through high school math?

    I would assume the point is getting across but the text gets to be horizontal which conserves space and eases readability.

    The fact that the gp got it means it is working as intended not trying to teach you rise over run.

    I think the label on the bottom right is supposed to be the title/subject of the graph, with x implicitly defined as time and y implicitly corresponding to the subject.

    Still misleading though, there are better ways to present the info
