This is just a repackaged joke from an other comic that came out 2 weeks ago, but much worse. Very ironic.

Rules
-
π Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
ποΈ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
𧬠Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
π½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
π Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
β Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
β Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
π¬ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 π) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 π) will be removed.
-
π΄ββ οΈ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
SΓ, por favor [Spanish/EspaΓ±ol]
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,

πΏ Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists
The following artists are banned from the community.
- Jago
- Stonetoss
- GPrime85
It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
Web Accessibility
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

MODERATORS
this is way funnier and better written.
I didn't expected that end, what the fuckπ€£
Read more of his comics. Itβs a running gag.
way to credit the artist by not dropping a link or name
Well I would, but I have no idea who it is. I just know Iβve seen em before. I didnβt post the original comment.
The AI joke has been around much longer than that but yes, nothing beats Adam Ellis' uhh... unique takes on these things.
Putting that posterior into the frame talking about Adam's illustration was certainly a choice.
He has a couple of these with cameos where he specifically calls them "[character] from [show]". It's a good bit. IIRC, he is dating or flirting with the char in all of them lol.
i like how you cropped any identity or link for the real artist from the image
Oh I didn't notice, I actually went through the last popular post and saved it from when it was posted on this comm a few weeks ago.
I'm guessing the link was probably in the post body but I didn't think to paste it over, my mistake. I didn't crop anything though but I should have included a link in any case.
Someone in the comments mentioned it's Adam Ellis if you want to see more of his work.
Thanks. It's really hard on the artists right now in the crushing AI world and one of the few defenses they have is the identification to be able to validate the human behind the at work so mentioning their name frequently along with their work goes a long way.
One, the problem with AI isn't that it copies people. It's that it literally can't not copy people
Two, people come to the same joke all the time. That's not proof of joke theft
Three, and this is really important. Unless you're from an Alanis Morissette song, that ain't irony. Like not even close. Cue the music
Edit: wrong homophone
I prefer this one tbh
feedback: this is a really busy comic and uses a strawman as its main premise, and the outrage within it feels forced
And the punchline is a face.
To be fair, he did a great job recreating the Kurt Angle meme in his drawing.
Oh boy another web comic about AI.
