Prof. Emily M. Bender(she/her)I'm no artist, but hopefully this gets the point across. A comic in three panels.

Douwe@emilymbender Yes. The problem is humans. Humans not doing what is good. Luckily techbro's are also good on track to eliminate that problem. The Great Replacement turns out to be about robots replacing humans. Surprise! 😞
Mark Harris@douwe @emilymbender That's a Great Replacement theory that I can understand.
BetaRays@emilymbender Makes me think of https://www.davidrevoy.com/article1092/the-amphora-of-great-intelligence-agi-part-2 too :)
Dźwiedziu@BetaRays
Yeah, this.
Was about to propose an alternative last panel, with the caption “nah”.
Justin ⏚@emilymbender LOL I think this every time someone says "AI" can solve the climate crisis.
Either they're an idiot who has never heard of Al Gore, or they're rooting for a superintelligence to enslave humanity and forcibly restructure society.
Julianoë@emilymbender to me this makes it look like the "answer/solution" was to build more nuclear plants
@Julianoe That's up to my lack of artistic ability! Those are meant to be coal plants....
Ben Chase@emilymbender @Julianoe You should ask an AI to redraw it so the “coal plant” aspect is more obvious.

Olm-e@emilymbender do you know @davidrevoy and his Avian Intelligence strips ?

JamesYour artistic skills truly bring the point across. Here's an artist who did the same in some more artistic ways 😁

Nicely done (the drawing could be better 😜)
I like the reference to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams

Panel 5: (Computer shuts itself off)
Alfred@emilymbender I had a similar thought a while back! (Sharing with intent to show solidarity, not to one-up you, as if I could.) Also, thank you for very obviously not using some image generation model. haha
@alphrabet Yeah, that is definitely one benefit of my poor drawing skills!
Nazani@emilymbender I assume AI info-scrapers will have glommed the text of the Georgia Guidestones and will eventually come up with a solution- fewer humans.

Reminds me of a comic I did on the "read e-book, save a tree" theme when most users had to use 300W computers attached to 100W CRT monitors in order to read e-books.

CressYeah right - learn to differentiate greed from need. Plus a boost of awarness as to what is quality of life vs quantity of life.
Qybat@emilymbender What people are really desperate for is a way to avoid climate change that does not require them to accept any level of expense, inconvenience or change to their established lifestyle. Surely the smart science people can whip up some gizmo to fix it all?
@emilymbender it's already too late and we control very little anyway as our rich people (they make the laws) consume like 100 and china pollutes more than the rest of the planet and will never do anything that would harm it in it's pursuit of a war with the West and all it's neighbors

They had finally achieved it. The distant ancestors of Vroomfondle and Majikthise approached the console. The race of hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings had strip mined their planet for rare minerals, and fuel. Three quarters of the planets available surface was now dedicated to manufacturing processors or refining the material to supply the "Great AI", Deepthought. The population had been reduced to small pockets nomadic refugees attempting to scratch a living from the remaining ravaged land, but no longer, for now was the time. Deepthought was about to pronounce the answer that they'd been looking for all these years. The ultimate answer. How to solve climate change. A slight static presence started to fill the room as it prepared to speak. Deepthought spoke. "KILL ME!" #MicroFiction #DouglasAdamsHomage #OpenAI #ClimateDisaster Inspired by @[email protected] and his Atlantic article https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2024/10/sam-altman-mythmaking/680152/
@emilymbender so good. Humans in a nutshell.

kwarg@emilymbender the ultimate answer to life the universe and everything is 42, so we even fail at building an actual supercomputer. Your doodle is accurate.
