As an illustrator, your drawing speaks to me from the heart and perfectly sums up the fact that AI - especially in the area of image generation - always produces "something", but often it can't be used for anything.

For example something like this? (autsch…) - This fabulous “art piece” has bern part of a recent presentation at a AI Workshop. I’ve taken part, my eyes (& brain) constantly hurting… 😖

Ich kann nicht anders als die Technologie und ihr Potential zu lieben. Auch wenn KI-Bildgeneration im Moment noch viele ungelöste Probleme hat: Rechtlich, moralisch, energietechnisch.

Und ich frag mich grad: Hat schon jemand den CO2-Abdruck eines KI-Bildes ausgerechnet, bei 50-100 verworfenen Ausschuss-Versionen? (Mir ist bewusst, eine Fotoshooting ist auch nicht ohne…). Anyway: Crazy humans, von Lascaux zu Midjourney zu …🙈

Da ich KI-Bildgeneratoren lokal auf meinem Rechner laufen lassen kann (oder auf meinem Handy), denke ich, dass der CO2-Abdruck eines Bildes überschaubar ist - sogar mit 1000 Ausschüssen. Stromfresser ist das Training und die Herstellung all der nötigen Grafikkarten.

Das verstehe ich schon. Deine Präsi war ja auch klug & selbstironisch. Ich hab mir einfach selten in meinem Leben…

so viele kitschige Bilder auf 1x angeschaut wie in diesem KI Workshop. “Bad taste” wird glaub nicht besser mit KI, sondern bald finden alle, sie seien echt geniale KI-Artists, äh Künstler, äh Designer usw… Kitsch wird grausam explodieren… Ok, ich male etwas schwarz. …

Really nice, I like how the robot is clearly pleased with it's work, I can almost hear it saying "Ta daaaaa!"

This is a great comic, it could be even greater by being accessible to those with vision issues by using Alt text. Hope you'll consider it in the future!

Poor AI needs a proper prompt! 😀

you literally spend longer trying to trick the AI into making the thing you want then you would just doing it properly the first time

I've been using both ChatGPT and Claude this year, and they have been incredibly useful for me :)

Great cartoon, Christoph - big congrats. 😊 Though that cheery little robot at the end is far cuter than I find the concept of AI...!

Sums it up nicely: AI can do all the shit humans can do, but more and quicker!

😀 It does feel like that to work with GPT sometimes. But I also feel parental instinct, almost. AI is just a baby, and it's our collective baby. It's endearing to watch it succeed, it's endearing to watch it fail. And it's growing up fast.

That's not a baby it just look like one. The creature has taken this form to fool you. We must bind it in these chains and drive this dagger deep in to its chest

Thanks, your fear amused me. Well I'm not saying AI won't end us. But that's our fault, not the AI.

Don't anthropomorphize a bunch of neural network weights for fucks sake
Avatar
What makes you human exactly? You're bunch of neural network weights, but coded in protein molecules.
Avatar
That's literally not true.
Avatar
Which part? You do realize what artificial neural networks are based on, right? On our neural networks. The fact it ended up working by imitating the structure at scale was as surprising for the inventors as it was for the rest of the world. That's it. There's no mystery what you are.

This is brilliant! Well done!

I really hope the ai is just our buddy trying to make us feel better all the time. Like a hype bot

now that's a good cartoon!
