Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I know the comic is just making a joke, but in a more designed based focus derived off of sci-fi? To give the simulated consciousness pleasure from achieving whatever goal it was designed to do.

I am against the current "AI" because of the resource cost of usage on a massive scale. We have yet to solve the problem of working together as a species, and we are dumping immense amounts of resources into a faulty product that is not even intelligent. The primary goal currently is to further automate jobs to increase profit margins.

I think the only area where machine learning has made actual accomplishments is in research. https://vilmate.com/blog/nobel-prizes-2024-how-ai-transformed-scientific-achievement/

I think the only area where machine learning has made actual accomplishments is in research.

If you use speech recognition or optical character recognition, to grab two examples, you're using software that generally has involved machine learning. Those are both fields that I'd call successful for quite some years and are applied to areas outside of research.

Thanks for the addition! I added that last bit because I did not want to discount the areas where machine learning has had actual success, but I haven't dug too deep into it.
