Alt Text: A comic in four panels:

Panel 1. The Gothic Sorceress sits alone at the university of magic's cafeteria, without her Avian Intelligence (AI) Parrot. However, something feels off: she's surrounded by Avian Intelligence ads everywhere, big posters and marketing object "AI Next", "Go AI", "Join AI", "AI Win", "Use AI", "AI Now" etc... and many users around with their AI Parrots. She thinks out loud.

Gothic Sorceress: Ugh, can't escape it.

Panel 2. She runs down a staircase filled with the same AI ads everywhere, even large statues of parrots are here.

Gothic Sorceress: sighs Everywhere...

Panel 3. In a corridor with still many ads, she runs and push the door of the toilets.

Gothic Girl: Get me out! Somewhere, anywhere!

Panel 4. She sits on the toilet, looking exasperated, still fully dressed. The toilet paper, wall poster, and even the wallpaper all feature the same AI ads.

Gothic Girl: Seriously?... Even here?...

Hehe, that reminds me how it feels when you don't like something the rest of society really really likes. I'm Canadian, don't like hockey, but when I stop to pay attention to things around me, there's hockey promotions on bags of chips, on soda bottles and cans, on cereal boxes... there's even hockey promotion on toilet paper packaging. So I'm sitting on the toilet, looking at the pack of toilet paper, and can read about some contest I could win in relation to hockey.

Of course there's AI in the bathroom, because AI is shit.

I remember trying to reply to a jira ticket and the whole screen froze up for a few seconds and I was given a big prompt saying "Chat to Rovo AI!" Like no, I don't want to chat to an AI, I want to chat to this eejit who raised a ticket

At least they had the decentency to make toilet paper with it so it can do the one thing it's good for, wiping my ass.

Why do I feel this art style is much too beautifully made to use "just" for cartoons?

David Revoy is a known artist, this is his art style.

My father put a large sticker of clearly AI gen animal on the water tank (likely from Temu), so yep, accurate.
