| Why use an LLM to do something that would take exactly the same amount of time and a lot less energy to just do in something like MS paint? |

| I don't really know, but finding the right font family might take more time than the LLM |

Can you prove that it'll take same amount of time for someone with > My photoshop skills are near zero to replicate the same level of quality as the generated image? From the looks of it, LLM managed to generate pixel perfect (or at least similar) font and probably took a fraction of a minute for the author to generate. |

AI is going to utterly cripple people intellectually and motivationally. If you can't even do the above ten second process, you may want to make more of an effort before you find yourself utterly fucked and starving. | | |
| ▲ | forgotpwd16 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | >no one will know the font was changed You're underestimating the effect typography has. >you may want to make more of an effort You seriously saying someone should put effort in editing a comic they didn't even cared on editing until they saw someone's comment? And somehow you equate the not putting effort to editing such comic to being fucked and starving? AI hate sometimes makes people really lose their mind. Doing pointless random shit like this is a legit AI good application. Something that needs no creativity nor intellect to do. Just time. (And, most certainly, more than 10s.) |

| I'd like to see metrics on that. But intuitively I'd say AI is faster. Basically it's opening the tab and typing your thought vs speed running paint. @sandermvanvliet what was the process and how long do you estimate it took you? Personally it would take me awhile to find the template, the exact font and get the positioning just right. I could make a crude one fast, and I've seen many crude versions of this meme. But matching the font is a bit more work, maybe there's a generator for it, but that's not paint nor do I know where it exists. |

| ▲ | deaddodo 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | “Speed running paint”? You mean opening the image and dragging a text box over the existing text, changing the font to comic sans, and typing the text? There are complicated workflows in Paint, this is not one of them. | | |

| ▲ | fooofw 3 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Why have you failed though? Is the point to try to deceive people to think that XKCD actually published something else? Why not modify the xkcd one without hinding the fact that you modified it? | |
| ▲ | cluckindan 3 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Yeah, everyone knows xkcd uses its own font, Humor Sans. | | | |
| ▲ | deaddodo 4 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Ok |
