4 frame comic. the first frame shows a tangram swan. text reads :
they call it "aI", but
large language models (llm)
such as chatbots are far from
intelligent: they are pattern-
recognition machines that
churn out whatever might sound
like a reply to the thing you
last said.
2nd frame shows inside a data center. text reads :
that distinction matters,
because the technology for
actual aI simply doesn't exist.
the only way for llm to get
better is to feed it more data,
transiting in bigger polluting
data centers, scavenged
always deeper into our
devices.
3rd frame shows a child blowing bubbles. text reads :
but once
the whole internet has been
fed to their llm, how can these
companies promise neverending
growth to their shareholders?

that's what makes "AI"
a bubble, kept afloat by
circular investments
and hype.
4th frame shows a chatbot logo. text reads :
llms need us to keep interacting
and coming back in order to grow.
they are sycophantic by design.
they amplify delusions and will
never disagree with you or
challenge your worldview.

it's ripping apart communities
for a few billionaires' hubris.
