Comic #5792: language-4

Description

Sure! Here’s the transcription of the comic:

Panel 1: "Thanks to artificial intelligence, humans around the world have been able to communicate, no matter what language they speak."

Panel 2: "This has been a terrible mistake."

Panel 3: "Observe this graph of human network size versus absolute bastardy."

Panel 4: "Now, we plot happiness. Happiness increases until you are a member of a group of about 100, after which each added member is more likely to create strife than cause pleasure."

Panel 5: "Therefore, a consortium of tech firms have agreed to implement 'anti-translations.'"

Panel 6: "When you communicate online by any means, your words will be scrambled into an artificial language that can only be deciphered by a random 99 other people."

Panel 7: "In order to spread their thoughts beyond their cell of 100, human beings will be forced to stand up, walk outside, physically knock on another human’s door, and say the opinion that seemed very insightful when pressed onto a keyboard."

Panel 8: "Thank you, and I hope to never hear from any of you."

Panel 9: "Isn’t this like… the Tower of Babel?"

Panel 10: "God’s greatest miracle."
