Comic #7234: poetry-2
Description
Here is the transcription of the comic:
Panel 1:
- Person 1: "Hey poet! Did you see this new paper? Average humans give AI poetry and real poetry can't tell which is which and prefer AI because it makes more sense!"
Panel 2:
- Person 2: "So what? Average humans prefer Instagram 'be your best' haikus to reading Yeats. Average humans are shit."
Panel 3:
- Person 1: "Do you use this standard anywhere else? 'Average humans think the sun going around the earth makes more sense. Suck on that, astronomers.'"
Panel 4:
- Person 2: "I'm just saying it doesn't look good to be a poet, does it?"
Panel 5:
- Person 1: "You can’t hurt poets! We’re already hated and unemployable! Even we hate each other! We have nothing to lose to AI!"
Panel 6:
- Person 2: "When the AI replaces you programmers, you’ll be out of a job and without a reason for being! English majors have been running on spite and self-loathing for centuries! We will outlive you."
Panel 7:
- Person 1: "Wow. I never thought of the humanities as personal preparation for the end times."
Panel 8:
- Person 2: "Did you think it was for fun?"
