    I don’t understand the point of this besides “AI bad.” It’s clearly articulating how AI is useful, and humans can be dickheads. Why is this a comic?

      Check out the 6th frame again. That seems to be the author’s viewpoint.

      In my interpretation, it’s less about “AI is bad” and more about an employer’s need to turn employees into mindless instruction-following drones. It overlaps a bit with Doctrow’s thought that your boss wants to replace you with AI not because it’s better or faster, but because you will tell her/him that they’re an idiot for doing something stupid.

      TL;DR: humans have free will and were born to create and impart their ideas upon the world, not blindly follow instructions.

        I’m so tired of these people just latching onto whatever the popular thing is now and drawing it to ad nauseum

        They complain that AI turns everything homogenous, but the last few of these types of comics give seen all have the same exact punchline. Make it make sense
