This artist’s comics are often explicitly anti-AI. They’re the one with the “avian intelligence” comics where the AI character is always malfunctioning and/or getting the protagonist into trouble.

Ah yes, we just finally threw out a brown paper bag from takeout because it finally tore through, but the cats were playing and sleeping on it more than any furniture we’ve bought them until it nearly disintegrated.

Oh and the watermark/attribution on the left. I guess someone put the original meme through an AI tool to colorize it. Weird.

The first part could be fixed by making buses have no fare

Sorry, I thought Google’s SynthID was common knowledge. They intentionally add a fingerprint to images/videos/audio created by their AI gen systems that they have the ability to detect. To my knowledge when you call it with @synthid or @detectai, it doesn’t even activate the actual LLM, just calls the tool directly.

I find it helpful in cases like this where a reverse image search doesn’t show anything before 2020, but an image smells like AI. Only thing is it can’t detect if an image was created by a different AI, so a negative result is not proof that something is not AI.

Yeah, google’s image generation tools intentionally leave a fingerprint so they can determine if an image was created by their AI tools. It’s basically the only thing I use their AI for.

https://deepmind.google/models/synthid/ It’s pretty interesting, and I’m glad they do it. I wish it were a requirement for all AI-gen images/videos/etc.

If I can’t find an image that looks like it might be AI on a reverse image search before ~2020, I run it through there to check if it was Gemini-created. It’s pretty helpful if you’re borderline like this one.

Unfortunately it seems to be

Yep

No, this doesn’t prime your immune system; it works directly against the virus, so you need the drug in your system actively to benefit from the effects.

There’s been a nasal flu vaccine for a while but it’s not as effective as the intramuscular ones.

Is that her head or body?

Relevant XKCD

Hm, I thought this was going to be about ICE or something after the first paragraph.

Browsing the modern internet without uBlock origin and maybe a cookie consent blocker is truly a horrible experience.

I read it at “haragban” which seems to translate to something like “in anger” from Hungarian.

There’s technically a small amount of research necessary to prove that not only does a drug contain the same ingredients in the same quantities, but actually causes the same drug levels in the body as the reference (branded) drug. But your point stands, it’s nowhere, nowhere near the effort of getting a new drug on the market. Just a random FYI I guess.

Also two completely different sheds, and the cat’s markings are different.

And the raccoons in a perfect line behind the cat would just make no sense.

These are all excellent. Thank you for sharing.

Oh wow, yeah that’s kind of impressive.
