#webcomic #krita #miniFantasyTheater

A comic in four panels: Panel 1. Cepper, the Gothic Sorceress, sits at her workbench in the basement of the university with her iconic clothes and glasses on her head. She is surrounded by steampunk cogs, wires, circuits, and code snippets written on parchments. She's determined in front of her masterpiece, her own local AI Parrot looking like a big pigeon. > Cepper: "I did it! Running 100% locally now. My own machine, my own terms! hehe." Panel 2. She excitedly asks it a question, but it takes an eternity to respond. > Cepper: "Avian Intelligence, what's the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?" > Local AI Parrot: "1... 1... m... e... t... e... r... s... loading 2%" Panel 3. Cepper starts to realize the immense computational power required to run AI models remotely. She looks at her local AI Parrot and starts to wonder. > Cepper: "Ouch. That's painfully slow, even with the largest magical stone I had!" > Local AI Parrot: "p...e...r... s...e...c...o...n...d... loading 4%" Panel 4. A shot late at night, she sleeps deeply on a big armchair, while the local AI Parrot still finish to output. > Local AI Parrot: "a...n...d... t...h...a...t...s... a...l...l... loading 100%"

A comic in four panels: Panel 1. The Gothic Sorceress paces back and forth on the foundation of her house: all that remains are the floor tiles and the outlines of the walls. The Avian Intelligence (AI) flies while watching her. In the distance, a storm is approaching: lightning streaks across the sky. > Gothic Sorceress: “Let’s think about this. Given your powers, you can probably build me a brand-new house, right?” Panel 2. Close-up: the stoic Avian Intelligence and the Gothic Sorceress, cheerful and excited by the good news, as a few raindrops fall. > Avian Intelligence: “That is indeed a task I can handle. Shall I make it just like the one before?” > Gothic Sorceress: “Yes!” Panel 3. Same shot, Avian Intelligence seems to have shifted into a different mode. The Gothic Sorceress is shocked and protests, exclaiming. > Avian Intelligence: “Oops, I can't. You have exceeded your request quota for this month.” > Gothic Sorceress: “WHAT?!” Panel 4. Under now heavy rain, the Gothic Sorceress has turned her back and is trying to contain her intense anger, clenching her fists. Avian Intelligence continues its sales pitch: > Avian Intelligence: “Subscribe now to Avian Intelligence Premium for unlimited requests!” > Gothic Sorceress: “Grrr!!!!”

Don't ever give elevated permissions to an Avian Intelligence...

#webcomic #krita #miniFantasyTheater

A comic in four panels: Panel 1. The Gothic Sorceress stands in the middle of the ruins of her house, in the middle of the mess the floor; a consequence of the night with the Tree Spirits. She's looking overwhelmed. She talks a bit in the void, eyes lost in the distance. Her Avian Intelligence (AI) Parrot listen, perched on a wall in ruins. > Gothic Sorceress: "Ugh, it'll take weeks to clean this up." Panel 2. A closer zoom on the AI Parrot, replying to the Gothic Sorceress. > AI Parrot: "I know a spell or two for that, but I need the highest permission level. Can you grant it to me?" > Gothic Sorceress: ""Granted." It can't get any worse anyway..." Panel 3. A tempest erupts inside the room, the AI Parrot flies in the middle like a majestic and all powerful bird: he is casting a spell loudly. Lightning flashes, cloud of dust are twirling, and many debries are flying. The Gothic Sorceress protect her face with her hands, in emergency. > AI Parrot: "Arehem Dash Areheff Root!" Panel 4. The aftermath of the spell: only the floor of the house survived. Just the tiles on the floor, lost in the middle of the natures with trees and grass. The room are empty, except a toilet seat in a corner. The AI Parrot is proud of his work while the Gothic Sorceress stares at the scene, seating still dizzy after the tornado. She feels powerless in front of the result. > AI Parrot: "Cleaning successful, room reset." > Gothic Sorceress: "I take it back. It **can** get worse."

Overreliance

#webcomic #krita #miniFantasyTheater

A comic in four panels: 1. It's night, and the rain pours through the windows. The group of the five Tree Spirits are playing with the Gothic Sorceress's home accessories and decoration, making a mess. The Gothic Sorceress, in the middle, in a yoga pose tries to contain their actions. She asks her AI Parrot: > Gothic Sorceress: "Avian Intelligence, tell them in their language to stop! They're making a mess!" 2. The AI Parrot doesn't react, displaying a spinning loading symbol in its speech bubble. The Gothic Sorceress urges it to hurry as the Tree Spirits continue their actions, breaking things, playing with fire, and spilling ink. > AI Parrot: (Loading Symbol Icon) loading... > Gothic Sorceress: "Come on! Hurry up!" 3. The AI Parrot's eyes are now crossed and their light turn off. It is obviously disconnected. The Gothic Sorceress feels distress and start to panic, while the Tree Spirits action are more extreme: one burn a part of her haircut, another one pushed a book on a candle. > AI Parrot: "Network error. Disconnecting." > Gothic Sorceress: "No... No!! Not NOW!!!" 4. The next day, the AI Parrot finally reconnects, happy, but the house is in ruins, with smokes, everything is broken... The Gothic Sorceress sits on the floor, she looks exhausted and apathetic: the five Tree Spirits are all sleeping cutely on her lap. > Narrator: "The next day..." > AI Parrot: "Network restored. Hi there, how can I help you?" > Gothic Sorceress: "Too late..."
