Yesterday's comic was published, but the prank part for 1st April wasn't... (not ready, and too tired to finish it) A bit sad. So, I finished it this morning.

@davidrevoy I did a work presentation during an AI "hackathon" just a few weeks ago, where I presented my (all human) efforts and then explained that my coding companion was a rubber duck. QuackGPT has many benefits - it is environmentally friendly, inexpensive, water-proof, and comes in a variety of colors. I even taped a little paper necktie onto mine mid-presentation to upgrade him to "agent" status.

@davidrevoy Wait, yesterday's strip was an April Fool's joke? I thought it was a perfect continuation of the story with a real solution!
Show threadStemy7h ago
@linuxandyarn @davidrevoy "Yesterday's comic was published, but the prank part for 1st April wasn't." That means the comic is not part of the joke, even though the joke took inspiration in the comic. Additionally, David it covered everything that can be crticized about AI and began to see an arc fatigue, so it's genuine end of the avaian intelligence arc.

@Stellar Hmmm... Let me check what Sam Altman would say in this type of situation. As a beginner owner of an AI service, I have to take from the best... oh, alright:

"we are not accountable for your usage, AI psychosis, and other brain erosion effects." 😆

@davidrevoy I love it so much.

I have a domain which is very similar to the university I'm a student at. Could I please have your permission to make a copy of that page and host it on the "ai" subdomain of that fake page?

I'd obviously edit the text at the bottom to credit you and link back to the original page.

Also, no worries if you'd rather not! Then I can do a redirect and it'll still be funny
Show threadDavid Revoy5h ago

@LilaHexe Sure, consider it CC 0/Public domain: you have FULL PERMISION.

It's only a index.html file, a screenshot.jpg (for the opengraph preview on social media), and the svg of the duck from clipsafari (cc 0 as well). You'll have no problem downloading the files.
Have fun!
