            Claude. Gemini. My local LLM which is various models.

            As a stupid example, I just asked Gemini how to outsource my lawn mowing to low-cost labor in India. While it did tell me that’s logistically impossible, it also said it’s a creative thought and it respects my dedication to cost efficiency.

            And that’s with a completely ridiculous example. If you try something more plausible but still a bad idea, they don’t just tell you it’s a bad idea.

              instead of a silly and irrelevant example, maybe actually try and convince claude of something and tell me how you go?

              what’s the most controversial political opinion you have that most would disagree with and share the chat link :)

              expecting no reply because you’ll find claude has guardrails and the cartoon is once again largely based on chatgpt

                I didn’t say I could convince them to agree to anything. I said they kiss ass even if you’re wrong. I guess my metaphor of fellatio wasn’t really straightforward enough.

    this has been going on for a while now and is not related to AI at all.

    it’s called post-structuralism and has been going on at least since the 2000 (at least in spirit, that’s when it gained traction among many scholars etc.). it says that there is no “objective reality” (in other words, only subjective realities exists, everybody sees the world differently and there are no absolute rules/morals).

    basically it says that you can just construct your own truth if you are powerful / wealthy enough to do that.

    Friendly reminder: if you intentionally generate nonsense content thinking it will screw up AI, and congratulate yourself for being a Justice Warrior, you’re equally screwing all the humans who look stuff up online. That form of social activism is like peeing in the pool, except there’s no chlorine.

You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !comicstrips@lemmy.world

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

Rules
  1. 😇 Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. 🏘️ 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.
  3. 🧬 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.
  4. 📽️ 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!
  5. 📋 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/
  6. 📬 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.
  7. 🏴‍☠️ 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]
  8. 🍿 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.

  1. Jago
  2. Stonetoss
  3. 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)
