5810: Heartwarming: Guy With MSPaint and Photoshop Calls Out AI-Powered Creation Software
Heartwarming: Guy With MSPaint and Photoshop Calls Out AI-Powered Creation Software |
![]() Made by: Crazy56U |
Explanation[edit | edit source]
This trip takes two Garfield strips (the first in which Garfield tears up a poem that Jon wrote, and the second in which he answers a fan letter by saying that his favorite movie is Old Yeller) and changes the dialogue to express the author's frustration over the increasing presence of AI-generated images on platforms like DeviantArt and Twitter, arguing that such creations lack artistic integrity. They emphasize that their own work relies on Garfield Wiki, MS Paint, and Photoshop, contrasting their manual effort with AI-generated content.
The author writes:[edit | edit source]
It's becoming a very disappointing thing to see more and more people upload AI images to places like DeviantArt and Twitter, and acting like they made art. No you didn't, all you did was dump text into a box and hit "Send", and nine times out of ten, the art looks bad!
Meanwhile, all I got is Garfield Wiki, MS Paint, and the 'Shop.
Original strips: 1983-04-25, 1994-07-07.
Transcript[edit | edit source]
{Jon approaches Garfield, holding a piece of paper}
Jon: Hey, Garfield, check out this comic I made using ChatGPT!
{Garfield, without hesitation, steals the paper from Jon and begins shredding it, much to Jon's dismay}
Garfield {mid-shredding}: Nope. You didn't make jack-diddly.
{Jon stares at the shreds of paper in silence, near-tears}
Garfield {finger raised}: Knock it off, and do actual work.
Text: AND NOW, IT'S TIME FOR FAN MAIL...
{cut to Garfield at a different table, reading a letter; yep, it's another one of these}
Letter: Dear Garfield,
Letter: I am insulted over your recent attack on the usefulness of ChatGPT. If you wish to keep me as a reader, I expect an apology for your slander of this vital part of the modern workforce.
Letter: -Jack Diddly
{Garfield says nothing, only staring at the reader with a smirk}
{cut to Garfield walking away, leaving behind more shreds of paper}
