Imagine taking all of your human experience, everything you have ever seen and heard and felt, everything you have loved and hated and wondered about, imagine taking all of that and pressing a button and letting a computer do math to put something on the screen for you. That's AI.

Or stupid.
The predominent anti-AI position on bsky is that AI is useless, fake, shit and basically the same as NFTs, destined to collapse in months once everyone sees how poor it is. So anyone who suggests that it could improve or be useful to any boss in any situation in the future must be evil.

It's always weird and a little gross when a comic of mine goes viral and I see all the accounts posting it with my attribution stripped out, so this is a big thank you to everyone who shared my work with my name still attached to it. Thank you :)

Harmony Korine embracing AI slop is mildly disappointing, I suppose but it's really the only outlet for someone who hasn't had an original idea since 1997.

Hey Bluesky I don't ever want to save a draft. If I highlight the text in this little box and press delete it means I looked upon my words and chose instead to be a better man. Not because I wanted to save a draft like some kind of draft saver saving drafts for the winter.
