It's looking bleak, folks (Patreon)

This is life in the 2020's. People constantly suggest I use AI, send me their "AI art", even run MY WORK through AI and show it to me trying to prove it looks 'better' (it looks terrible), AND I get random AI bros asking to make cartoons, books, products, youtube shorts, etc. with my work using AI. I hate it, words cannot express how much I hate it. It's getting hard to stay polite, and I notice my replies are short and sassy and....downright mean sometimes lol. I just don't want anything to do with AI and the world will not leave me alone with it. But what's scarier is I feel like people are entirely too dependant on it. PLEASE, I'm begging the world, please just think for yourself and make your own work, it will always be better!!

Microsoft forcing dedicated copilot buttons on it's keyboards now like please I'm begging you just go away.

That's a pretty solid burn. It'd be nice if they understood that.

My phone every day. I feel like just leaving all technology behind and living in a cave

I work in cybersecurity and I’ve been trying to convince people that generative AI is bad for years yet people are still willing to trust some of their most sensitive information to it - people really do value convenience above everything else unfortunately

Oli

Some people need artificial intelligence to overcompensate their natural stupidity

AI is useful for many things. That being said, using AI for the arts only pads the corporate overlords pockets. I'm not saying it. Cannot be used for artistic endeavors, but it is, and will be soulless with no heart, and no real meaning. Also, no copyright* is attached to it, so artists who use it should beware of those implications. *The prompts used can be copyrighted, but the actual created work cannot. Although there is some nuance to that.

I refuse to do anything with AI. Maybe it's the cranky old man in me, but there is something so soulless about generative AI. And all these corpos and Tech Bros pushing it makes me want it even less. Or it could be because I count photography and writing as hobbies and I would like to keep those thank you.

TwilightRealm

AI has uses: medicine, imaging, diagnostics, automation of menial tasks…but it can never create anything. AI only does what it’s told, it cannot form something from nothing. It fucking pisses me off to see people use and abuse it, and the planet as a result, to get facsimiles of creativity. How can people be so deluded into believing such slop is quality?

William Buckner

Well, from the title of this post, it’s bleak but not where I thought you were going with it. So it could be worse.

Pizza Cake Comics

People should be very very wary of AI. It's extremely suggestive and often just makes up information to complete a task, and has been caught doing so several times.

Conercao

I'm a sysadmin and they keep trying to push it on us as well. I tried it once and it gave me an answer so wrong it took me about 10 seconds to see it was wrong. I'm waiting for the bubble to burst, probably through some security screw-up

Tim Totten

The current obsession with LLMs is utterly insane. They were useful tools in certain cases years ago, but since becoming a craze have been turned into mass marketed slop generators. An enormous waste of resources, and major cause of even more environmental devastation... Yay humanity, always finding the stupidest ways to expedite the destruction of the planet (and our own extinction.)

ernest leitch

I work as a software programmer and way too many of my coworkers are willing to trade knowledge for fast, incorrect answers and it’s driving me up the wall

Seth Swanson

Fuckin' THIS. Fellow programmer here. Same frustrations.

Seth Swanson

I feel like I'm going crazy sometimes. There is no use case for GenAI that makes it worth the costs. The energy, the water waste, the data-centers, the AI psychosis, the general dumbing down of the people who rely on it, the goddamn theft that they can't exists without. And for all that we get a shitty google search that has a sexy female voice? Something that makes soulless slop that execs can justify replacing their artists with? Dead sounding and looking performances that Hollywood execs can't wait to replace real actors with? Generated code that no one understands, has bugs that no one will know about? Hoo boy. Sure seems like something to set the entire economy on fire over. Can't fuckin' wait. Sam altman is going to sell intelligence to us on a meter! Woo! The future!

Riiki

I feel the same. I print and build mando armor and costumes, and over the past few years Ive really been having to fight the tide of people coming through saying "I had AI come up with my backstory/character/kit design!" more and more. The loss of creativity were seeing from the intrusion of LLMs and GenAI is devastatingly disappointing and infuriating. 🤬

Kathumandu

@grok can you summarize what this comic is saying? But yeah, cognitive offloading is a real thing and it’s causing some major issues with younger generations (late GenZ and Gen Alpha) and I worry for them.

TwilightRealm

Exactly. Why even bother when it’s proven to fail your expectations? Keep AI in the labs and on spreadsheets, it’s only good at reading data and organizing it, nothing more.

Michael Szeller

As far as AI art, I will freely admit that it can make images far better than I can. But I am not an artist and have no noticeable drawing skills beyond a basic stick figure. I do NOT use AI in my work beyond Google in “AI mode” which is just an improved search.

Sleepy John

we outsourced all the jobs, now we’re outsourcing all the thinks.

Ira Timothy

AI is crap!!! I detest, loathe and spit on it. I would dance on it's grave if possible. You are worth morr and can do way better then that slop.

Zihuatanejo

I am a litigation attorney. Writing is how I make my living. There is a growing trend in the practice for (usually not very skilled) lawyers to use AI to draft their briefs, often with disastrous results. Nevertheless, there are partners in my own firm who often encourage us to use AI more, which I do not understand. To me it feels like carriage drivers advocating for greater use of motorcars, except that driving a car doesn’t usually result in one getting disbarred.

David Coley

Ai is not a replacement tool. There are specific use cases and honestly for art i dont believe it to be one. For IT stuff it's good with a driver. Art is human, not machine.

ItsSomeGuy

AI is good for pointless tasks, like writing an executive summary or a cover letter. It's great for doing pointless crap that shouldn't have to do but the idiotic powers that be insist on it. That's the only use I've found for it - generating pointless slop. I despise the fact that it uses so much power, water, and has made computing impossibly expensive because of its thirst for certain types of chips. I hope it all crashes and burns and knocks down many executives, tech bros, and other despicable people all the way down back to earth with the rest of us. TL;DR: ignore the tech chuds and slop purveyors, what you do is irreplaceable and fantastic - no AI required

Chris Smith

AI, what they are calling ai currently, will either be destroyed or it will be the downfall of humanity

Kurdt

All of the AI comics I've seen and had shoved in my face by FB look like absolute soulless trash. If you can't draw then you should have no business making comics and using a computer to do it for you makes you a loser imho

Pizza Cake Comics

I couldnt imagine working so hard to become a lawyer just to hand over important work to a shitty AI lol

Zihuatanejo

Well *I* couldn't imagine working so hard to become a very talented professional artist with a unique art style and playful comic sensibility, only to be harassed by a dedicated pack of internet chuds on a daily basis, which seems like a much bigger life problem than occasionally having to point out to a court that a case cited in an opponent's brief does not in fact exist.

Rob van Overmeeren

I use your line all the time, the one when you had some asshole who said he was a “Professional Prompt Engineer” who said he could do it just as well, and you said “Challenge accepted! But with paper and pencil.”

Pizza Cake Comics

Omg I remember reading that story and my jaw dropped, like how did they do no research beforehand lol!?

Zihuatanejo

I think they believed that ChatGPT or whatever they were using was infallible and (essentially) magic.

Rocky Threecats

AI “art” reminds me of the advent of Photoshop and the ease of making images that never existed in that form. Like AI, it excels at correcting problems in an original image but the correction is a kind of lie, of reality or talent. I follow someone who is introverted and adorably odd. She occasionally makes crude cartoons that are engaging and intelligent but look like they were done quickly with a charcoal pencil by a child. Better than AI hands down.

Jeremy Umpleby

The imperfections in an artwork are what make it valid. Charles Schulz would never been well known if he used a computer to automate the production of Peanuts.

The Devil Kitty

What's really frightening me is apparently school children are having to be convinced that great works were in fact created by humans- somehow the idea that humans CAN'T make good art (the stuff stolen for AI) is now circulating the next generation. Source- an art teacher worrying.

Nick B.

Any time my kids talk about using AI (I'm a teacher), I point them to that one story about the lawyer who used ChatGPT to build his case, and ended up getting disbarred because of it.

Nicholas Sulikowski

Every day, we inch closer to a Butlerian Jihad. *angry Dune noises*
