Don't ever give elevated permissions to an Avian Intelligence...

Transcript:

A comic in four panels:

Panel 1. The Gothic Sorceress stands in the middle of the ruins of her house, in the middle of the mess the floor; a consequence of the night with the Tree Spirits. She's looking overwhelmed. She talks a bit in the void, eyes lost in the distance. Her Avian Intelligence (AI) Parrot listen, perched on a wall in ruins.

Gothic Sorceress: "Ugh, it'll take weeks to clean this up."

Panel 2. A closer zoom on the AI Parrot, replying to the Gothic Sorceress.

AI Parrot: "I know a spell or two for that, but I need the highest permission level. Can you grant it to me?" Gothic Sorceress: ""Granted." It can't get any worse anyway..."

Panel 3. A tempest erupts inside the room, the AI Parrot flies in the middle like a majestic and all powerful bird: he is casting a spell loudly. Lightning flashes, cloud of dust are twirling, and many debries are flying. The Gothic Sorceress protect her face with her hands, in emergency.

AI Parrot: "Arehem Dash Areheff Root!"

Panel 4. The aftermath of the spell: only the floor of the house survived. Just the tiles on the floor, lost in the middle of the natures with trees and grass. The room are empty, except a toilet seat in a corner. The AI Parrot is proud of his work while the Gothic Sorceress stares at the scene, seating still dizzy after the tornado. She feels powerless in front of the result.

AI Parrot: "Cleaning successful, room reset." Gothic Sorceress: "I take it back. It can get worse."

No need to worry β€” your judgment is sound. It's clear what the spell says. Thanks for another beautiful cartoon!

haha nice one πŸ˜‚.

One idea for future episode may be - the subscription nagging. After countless rephrasing, prompting and correction for making it understand your query. You want the answer for something too bad, you are out of credits. Upgrade to pro plan it is just 2 souls per month.

@raghukamath Hey! Wow, you are reading into the future because the "upgrade to pro"/"paywall" is exactly the theme for next week.
I took another angle on it, around "prompting addiction" theme too, and with the blond elf Amall.

I'm sure you have a massive pile of Avian Intelligence story ideas from everything happening but here's one that would fit in very well:

@gbargoud Thank you for sharing!

This needs a follow-up where the AI is totally confident that it did the right thing. Either that, or it apologises and promises to never do it again, and then does it again. πŸ˜…

It took me a second, and then I laughed so hard. 🀣 Oh NOOO!

I like how she doesn't even get mad. She asked for it, after all!

I have a friend who's going to switch to Linux soon, and I warned him that if he asks AI a question about it, he should be very, very careful about the answer, and to avoid anything that says 'rm -rf' unless he means it, and what that command does. He understood. :blobcatmelt:
