The Amphora of Great Intelligence (AGI)
transcript:
A comic strip in four panels:
-
A bird's-eye view of a giant amphora the size of a building with closed eyes and a closed mouth engraved on it. Using scaffolding, a community of wizards climbed up and are throwing all their books into it, to fill its content.
Wizards: All our grimoires for the Amphora of Great Intelligence!
-
A ground level view at the bottom of the giant amphora. This time, the wizards bring tree trunks, cut down nearby trees, and throw them into a large fire to boil the giant amphora.
Wizards: All our forests for the Amphora of Great Intelligence!
-
A gathering of all the wizards below the imposing amphora which has now opened its glowing eyes and mouth slightly. The crowd of wizards at its feet applauds:
Wizards: Amphora of Great Intelligence, our world is dying, share your knowledge with us!
-
Same shot, as the amphora responds with joyful and amused eyes. The wizards are confused by the answer...
Artificial Intelligence: According to geologists, you should eat at least one small rock per day. Wizards: ... ... ...

The damned amphora cultists are everywhere!

★This is fantastic.
By far the best version for writing out agi 😅👍
danielsteinborn@mastodon.art
love it 😂 it sums up the quality of a lot of answers generated by “ai” pretty well. But let’s hope that humanity is a bit smarter...

you forgot to draw the Amphora Cult in the bottom panel saying we're almost there and calling for more sacrifices
★AliveDevil@tauri.earth
One small rock, the size of a large pebble.

@tunubesecamirio no puedo imaginar un meme mejor anti IA
★fiee@literatur.social
I was expecting it to say something like “you shouldn’t have wasted your books & trees”.
★monilenyan@mastodon.social
@fiee that's what it *should* say. Further proof the amphora is broken 😅
★Linebyline@mastoart.social
@monilenyan @fiee Nah, we just need to feed it even more grimoires and burn even more trees, and rephrase the prompt a few dozen times until it gives an answer we like.
★madengineering@mastodon.cloud
@fiee Oh, but you see, that would have been actual wisdom.
patrick@retro.social
@fiee I was thinking the same originally, but then I remembered:
The "small rock" comes from https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd11gzejgz4o
Google, whose system came up with that recommendation, planned to become CO2 neutral by 2030. That plan was silently shelved because it conflicts with its AI data center build-out.
Your last panel would mean that AGI can truly recommend something useful. is more of a commentary on real life "AI".
★pwflint@mindly.social
looks suspiciously like the kool-aid man
★louisderrac
love it 🤩

★Yeah, the golden calf 2.0.
This time around it eats all our resources, jobs and will to live,
but gives us an almost perfect psychopath in return.
Totally worth it...
voxel@infosec.space
Masterpiece.
★constancies@metalhead.club
brilliant
★Phracker2Art@mstdn.social
★Pretty accurate.

Hâte de voir ce que ferait une AGI générative. 😁
★kalvin@liberica.kupi.my
AGI = Artificial General Intelligence. Nowadays, the scope of the AIs we use is more focused on specific purposes, such as generative AI, which is only for creating new content based on trained data. AGI is a hypothetical concept. I don't understand this concept very well, but I think it involves AI that can mimic human intelligence, from the beginning through continuous learning, like humans.

The last panel could also have simply read "42".

Wooow très bien vu, c'est tout à fait ca !
★Il faut ajouter à la scène tous ceux qui construisent ce mythe ( google, Stanford et j'en passe ) et tous ceux qui profitent du mythe ( Sam Altman, Etats, agglomérats financier et j'en passe )
Pour moi *l'urgence * est de se concentrer pour une utilisation démocratique et citoyenne de l'IA : En prendre contrôle et possession.

I appreciate that the amphora's speech bubble has the AI Yellow Filter™ applied :shibe_laugh:

jak@defcon.social
this is definitely brilliant!! 😃
PS: still working on a Cyberpunk comic?
davidrevoy
@jak Thank you 😊 No, I'm working right now in background of the weekly comic strips on a Pepper&Carrot new episode. Hopefully to be released "soon". The Cyberpunk story I had (a one shot) and the Alice in Wonderland on black paper project are both put to the side right now. I hope I'll revisit them soon! Thanks for asking.
2 ★jak@defcon.social
are you joining? Thank YOU for the update!! 🤩 and thanks for your strip! Funny, superbly drawn and free as in freedom 💪
★ToonLink@fandom.ink
Ahaha I get it! This one made me laugh out loud.

@Chip_Unicorn
LLMs aren't AGI
AGI doesn't mean it'll be right
And you should eat a certain amount of salt every day. (As well as other things you can get from rocks)
Please don't mix these things up, which I think is the point of the comic?
ertai42@nerdculture.de
★so good!
