The original xkcd comic was better and this is a blatant ripoff. I know it says it’s based off of that original xkcd comic, but it’s basically line for line the same. Just talking about genAI instead of Databases, which ended up making less sense and made the whole joke worse.

The fact that it’s a joke about genAi and that joke is a rehash of existing material is rather on point though.
I… Didn’t think of it that way.
It’s an old joke updated for new technology … that’s part of what makes it clever.
It references the original joke (albeit in very small text)
The Asterix books frequently did something similar. https://cloud.wordpress.com/2022/02/17/asterix-and-the-historical-interpretation/
