I can't even imagine what dickhead is saying there. Is he implying that the mean real people are bullying the sensitive AI babies?
Since Ben Garrison is the one human whose output most closely resembles AI, I imagine this is him having an existential crisis.
You're saying an actual human called that thing both "pen & ink" and a "typewrite"?
... Also labeled the clearly working lamp as "power outage"
... And doesn't understand how USB works
I don't buy it. Even if Ben did real drawing in the past, he clearly isn't now. Edit: Or as a reply pointed out, the signature could be fake too with Ben not involved.
Is this real? Or is it a fake comic making fun of Ben Garrison? It's hard to tell. I'd expect better even from him, which is saying a lot.
I dont think this is real. Definitely AI generated, very unlikely to be his actual work.
I agree, reverse image search isn't coming up with anything for this one, but it works on other comics from his site. Seems to be an imitation.
It's Ben Garrison! Dude can't get an erection unless he labels every single goddamn thing. While being barely coherent. He's been doing this for ages!
He's always been a big fan of labels.
Why did I think he had died? Probably getting him mixed up with Scott Adams.
I agree with you, it's a typical example of a Garrison cartoon. It's so boringly obvious on a surface level that you can't help but assume there's some idiotic alt-right subtext.
what? bro the joke is that ai writers are not real writers, it's not that deep.
Neither are you apparently
Ironically, I expect AI would probably give a more accurate summary / explanation of the comic than you just did.
I just tried with the lowest end local model I could find. It did in fact do a better job than him...
That's an oof
