Holiday special
Transcript:
A comic in four panel:
Panel 1. The scene opens on a cozy winter morning, in the corner of a room with a chimney and a festively decorated tree, in black, because made by the Gothic Sorceress. The Gothic Sorceress, in her black nightie looks excited and a bit mischievous.
Gothic Sorceress: "I'm so excited, best time of the year!"
Panel 2. The sorceress examines the contents of a gift she unwrapped with delight: a new spellbook.
Gothic Sorceress: "A new spellbook? Yes!"
Panel 3. On the perch nearby the tree, her AI Parrot says something as the sorceress begins to flip through the pages. A cold shiver runs down the Gothic Sorceress's spine as she realizes.
AI Parrot: "I generated that book last night. I hope you like it."
Panel 4. The cyber parrot is seen lying on the tiled floor, with a heavy book on his head. He looks enthusiastic.
AI Parrot: "Using the spellbook as a projectile? I love the creative use! I knew you'd enjoy the present."

I think this parrot will have quite the 2026
Maybe a cat'd be better xD

Nice. Fun to see as usual. You think the "fireball" spell is in that spell book?

Me when reading in the video description that the song used was AI generated:
davidrevoy
@legendary_creeper Yes, I had the same feeling when I saw a good video with the voice over of a Youtuber I follow; but then I realized all what appeared to me at first to be 'video stock' was in fact, AI gen videos.
5 βIt really feels like wasting the full media each time. Not that it is technically bad in itself: but there is always this feeling of deception. Maybe because of the "lowest effort" from the creator, the "good enough" effect.
legendary_creeper@mas.to
To me it was a Minecraft Music Video (Animation) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlPHi6PeT24, the song itself was pretty good and the reason I took a closer look to see who made it and the description linked to the soundtrack on a secondary channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-WLhp6KiJs4, I scrolled to the description just to find at the bottom of it "It is a music complete with Suno AI.". It felt very disappointed and definitely get the feeling of deception. One of the biggest issues I have with this is knowing (1/2)
legendary_creeper@mas.to
that the AI not only created the song out of thin air and a prompt, but that it's based on stolen work from countless artists, which really hurts my heart. I am very appreciative of artists and creators of any kind making these amazing things they do, but seeing them robbed of their own creations with thoughts and feelings in them, to emotionlessly mass produce such creations just hurts. (2/2)

she should receive a proper gift! and happy holidays :miku_heart:
davidrevoy
@agatha Thank you, Happy holidays to you too!
Yes, I hesitated to offer her the crow she wanted on her first appearance in the series, but it's the first time she fight back her AI Parrot directly. https://framapiaf.org/@davidrevoy/115577466253882640

i guess getting to throw the fake book on it is a gift in its own way

I love how you represent AI as a parrot!ππ Such a fine idea!

Maybe she misses out something. Well, hate has never been a good help...

@Laberpferd This is 2 levels of dislike. Def feel like I guard myself over any new image/media I take in. AI makes me not want to explore or research right now. :/

I hoped you might enjoy a hand-drawn cartoon about artificalparrots :)

Who said books written by AI can't be accurate? (especially when thrown at close quarters)
