This is just a repackaged joke from an other comic that came out 2 weeks ago, but much worse. Very ironic.

[-] hey@reddthat.com 1 points 2 hours ago

I prefer this one tbh

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 9 points 14 hours ago

The AI joke has been around much longer than that but yes, nothing beats Adam Ellis' uhh... unique takes on these things.

[-] trem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 12 hours ago

Putting that posterior into the frame talking about Adam's illustration was certainly a choice.

[-] Grimy@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

He has a couple of these with cameos where he specifically calls them "[character] from [show]". It's a good bit. IIRC, he is dating or flirting with the char in all of them lol.

[-] liinux@pawb.social 13 points 15 hours ago

I didn't expected that end, what the fuck🤣

[-] Psionicsickness@reddthat.com 4 points 12 hours ago

Read more of his comics. It’s a running gag.

[-] Nima@leminal.space 18 points 17 hours ago

this is way funnier and better written.

[-] chuckleslord@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

One, the problem with AI isn't that it copies people. It's that it literally can't not copy people

Two, people come to the same joke all the time. That's not proof of joke theft

Three, and this is really important. Unless you're from an Alanis Morissette song, that ain't irony. Like not even close. Cue the music

Edit: wrong homophone

feedback: this is a really busy comic and uses a strawman as its main premise, and the outrage within it feels forced

[-] Klear@piefed.world 26 points 18 hours ago

And the punchline is a face.

[-] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 11 points 18 hours ago

To be fair, he did a great job recreating the Kurt Angle meme in his drawing.

[-] rebelsimile@sh.itjust.works 16 points 17 hours ago

Oh boy another web comic about AI.

ha ha ai bad

[-] Leviathan@fedinsfw.app 20 points 19 hours ago

This, but unironically.

[-] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 4 points 17 hours ago

ha ha im too lazy to learn how to do anything correctly

[-] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone 1 points 17 hours ago

im too lazy to learn

I work a technical job by day and have several hobbies that involve learning

how to do anything

I learn new things every day, as part of my job and as apart of my hobbies

how to do anything correctly

The websites I've made with it and scripts I've run with it work and work well

I understand you don't like AI but there's no need to be cranky

[-] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 6 points 16 hours ago

A red octagonal USA-style stop sign as one would see posted on roads, but instead of "stop" it says "slop."

[-] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone 1 points 8 hours ago

damn you really are a cranky bot

[-] SuiXi3D@fedia.io 1 points 8 hours ago

Damn you really are a piece of shit.

[-] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone 1 points 8 hours ago

for using ai? 🤣

anyway you’re blocked now, if i needed lazy 1 line responses that waste energy i could talk to chatgpt3.5 turbo

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 5 points 19 hours ago

name one good thing a generative AI LLM has made.

[-] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone -1 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago)

I used it to make a website that shows daily excessive electricity generation resulting in negative pricing in Australia here: https://sw.ikt.id.au/

I also made my own self hosted imgur which I use to upload images (and compress them) and videos:

I've also used it to create scripts that have saved me hundreds of hours of work

I also think this song is pretty funny: https://suno.com/song/978f2814-221d-40a7-adc4-f31d0d1bed43

So that's 4 things (at least) 😅

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 6 points 19 hours ago

that's a front end library you've connected to a database/API. We could do that before AI.

And we've had web hosting and imagemagick for compression for a long time.

the process you're describing is paying someone to assemble ikea furniture for you and calling yourself a carpenter. It's a shortcut.

I have used a microwave to save me hundreds of hours of cooking, it doesn't make me Gordon Ramsey.

[-] Grimy@lemmy.world 6 points 18 hours ago

"It existed before" and some kind of stolen valor argument? Who the fuck cares, what's your actual point. No one is calling themselves Torvalds or wtv while vibe coding anyways, the whole comment is just emotional whining and goal post shifting.

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 9 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

"name one good thing that you can make your machine"

"it can add peanut butter and jelly to bread"

"we had that, it was called a knife"

"yes but this machine works by pouring arsenic into the water supply!"

I dont care about the stolen valor I'm saying this machine did something we could already do slightly faster at a massive social and environmental cost.

[-] Klear@piefed.world 2 points 16 hours ago

“name one good thing that you can make your machine”

“it can add peanut butter and jelly to bread”

“we had that, it was called a knife”

they have played us for absolute fools

[-] Grimy@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

Name one good thing a food processor has made. That's what you sound like.

Fyi, an AI request is about 1 second of microwave use. I'm guessing you never use a microwave, a minute worth would be more than my daily use of energy with AI.

[-] copygirl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 15 hours ago

We're past the point where you can pretend AI doesn't have multiple massive negative impacts. Sure, your individual use is not a problem on its own. But the models you used had to be trained. Future models need to be trained. And that cost must also be considered in each of your queries. You're still participating in normalizing and justifying the existence of AI. All while they extract value from you and others they never got permission from.

Well, I guess we'll just see who was right in 20 years when we're overwhelmed by the flood of climate caused migration while at the same time having lost the ability to have any independent thought.

[-] Grimy@lemmy.world 0 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

In the end, it's electricity. The only thing seperating good vs bad AI is a proper grid running around renewable which we need in any case and should have had a decade ago.

It's also massive hypocrisy. Data centres have been around for a while, no one complains about the cost of running YouTube and Netflix, or the cost of developing CoD and running the servers. One AI query is about 10 seconds of streaming, are you critical about watching tv? Should I calculate the cost of making a movie and remove it from the 10 seconds or do you only use that logic with AI?

You got told to be mad by the media and that's why you are mad.

[-] copygirl@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 13 hours ago

Aaaand you entirely missed the point I made.

[-] Grimy@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago

Ahhh yes, I'm ignoring your point but you aren't with your trite reply?

I addressed your point. You blame climate change and environmental damage on it while I'm saying that's on lax environmental regulations and corrupt politicians. You've been convinced by the oil industry that the technology is deeply coupled with how power is generated and that it's at fault ultimately. Obviously, look away from the constant bribes that are killing renewable projects, it's the fault of software. Not the software you like and use everyday like streaming movies and videos though, the new one that the media tells you is bad.

[-] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone 1 points 17 hours ago

where on the doll did the AI touch you dude...

[-] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 1 points 17 hours ago

[-] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone 3 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Many of these centers are building or planning to build on-site fossil fuel-driven power plants

Have you tried having a government that can govern?

As part of the proposed standards, future large-scale AI data centres would face mandatory obligations around electricity, water and infrastructure.

Mr Albanese said new facilities would be required to underwrite new electricity generation and pay the full cost of connecting to the grid so households were not left footing the bill.

He said the data centre companies would have to contribute at least as much energy to the grid as they consumed, including both renewables and firming power.

The government would also require the centres to minimise water use and pay for any additional water infrastructure where necessary.

ps. I don't use American AI, I use Mistral which is French and Lumo/Scaleway which are European

[-] luthis@lemmy.nz 0 points 18 hours ago

Everyone knows you can't microwave a lettuce and expect a salad, but Gordon Ramsey does use a microwave. So do I, and I never claim I'm a chef. But my food is better than the food produced in a million restaurants world wide. Still can't exactly mimic the Mac sauce yet, but I bet an LLM could help with that

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules

😇 Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
🏘️ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
🧬 Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
📋 Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
  ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
  ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
📬 Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.
🏴‍☠️ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
  Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
🍿 Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.

Banned Artists

The following artists are banned from the community.

Jago
Stonetoss
GPrime85

It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.

Web Accessibility

Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.

When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:

Markdown - Links / Images

Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)
