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.

Swear to God people don't understand how software works at all. It's like you said: solved problems don't need AI. I wish more people understood this. AI is insanely inefficient and power-hungry. Are there applications where it works and is the best tool for the job? Maybe? I don't know. The closest I've seen is in cases where you basically want to throw a bunch of random shit at the wall and see what sticks, and there's no real way to automate that properly.
But solved problems have solutions that are faster (like, orders of magnitude faster in most cases) and don't consume anywhere near as much power than AI. And people clearly don't understand how software works, because "power consumption" is a massive factor in how much you pay for cloud services (which is what most AI companies are doing).
