Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

At our wor k they have a big push for everyone to use AI. I used AI to try to do things faster, it's terrible in it. The time you save with it in the beginning because it helps you rubberducking you and your peers lose at the end by finding out late that it bullshitted and contradicted itself and you copy and pasted it to be faster. I have so many examples of it.
Go back, and correct each example. One by one. Now a 2 hour manual job takes all week with AI.
Then when your boss asks why you aren't using AI to make things faster, you tell him "Well I DID use AI. It completed the job in 5 minutes. Now I'm just checking for all of it's errors. For example, this contract had your vendors paying you in corn. I had to go back and correct that. Unless you DO want me to just use AI, spend 5 minutes, and we use our entire team on this project for you to be paid in corn....."
I have a feeling that AI will be cancelled pretty quick.
I thought so too, but ChatGPT was released more than 2 years ago and people still seem to give its "opinion" weight...
A disturbing number of people think that computers are magic* and therefore whatever comes out of them is automatically not only correct, but the best possible form of correct.
And if they pay money for access to something that runs on a computer, most of them will double down on that belief until it ruins them.
* or logical, or mathematical or some other grand attribute. "Infallible" is a good one.
And you'll get people in high sales and marketing places who know it's a fallacy, successfully con others with it, but also fall victim to it when it comes from outside their sphere of influence.
