A comic in four panels:
Panel 1: The gothic sorceress, dressed in dark, flowing robes, stands in the middle of a desolated land. She gazes at the colorful mechanical parrot flying near her shoulder: the Avian Intelligent Parrot. The sorceress asks with a hint of curiosity.
Gothic sorceress: “Hey, Avian Intelligence, what’s the incantation for summoning a fireball?”
AI Parrot: “:sparkle emoji: The correct incantation for a fireball is “IgnisMe”.”
Panel 2: The gothic sorceress cracks a wicked smile, her eyes shining with anticipation as she raises her hands in front of her, fingers spread and ready to cast.
Gothic sorceress: “Alright, let’s give it a shot… IgnisMe!”
Panel(small insert in previous panel): Only the eyes of the gothic sorceress are visible in a large flame.
Gothic sorceress: “?!!”
Panel 3: The gothic sorceress is burnt, her face contorted in a mix of shock, anger, and pain. Flames and smoke dance around her, her dark robes burnt and tattered, revealing exposed parts of her anatomy.
Gothic sorceress: “You #*$%@& bird! You gave me a self-immolation spell instead of a fireball spell!”
Panel 4: As the sorceress facepalms, the Avian Intelligent parrot replies with stoicism.
AI Parrot: “:sparkle emoji: You’re absolutely right! The correct incantation for a fireball is “PyroBolus”.”
You literally cannot convince me this guy doesn’t also draw porn. There’s just something about the art style…
Horny bastard…😆
Edit: oh my, this is a independent, less serious line.
Is it the bird?
What that beak do?
The cross eyed look is a huge tell.
The guy literally shares the “source files” for his open source for his comics (krita, inkscape, etc), plus all the information about how it’s drawn. I also suspected AI but it’s likely just his style; like the use of em dashes w/ LLMs.
Too bad even with all the documentation, it’s tough to trust people now.
Does he have them for this one? Usually that site is pretty good and I haven’t seen it make a mistake yet. The eyes in the first and third panel are really off, which happens a lot with AI generated comics.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a false positive, but it did strike me as AI generated before I even put it in the detector.
I’m on mobile right now so I can’t check the krita file itself but I was able to download it from the link OP posted (you need to click a link further down on the page that says source).
It wouldn’t be the first time someone’s looks like AI, though. It’s a hallmark of digital art, and AI has to have trained off something, too
I guess that’s the difference between summoning and casting.
A summon brings it to you.
Okay, but why is there a self-immolation spell in the first place?
Fire resist + Self immolate = Hugs of Death!
Her fault for using AI in the first place.
As has been established in the previous strip, that’s what her school provides instead of familiars. She wasn’t happy about it back then and it doesn’t look like her opinion is going to change anytime soon.
