Here’s the prompt I used: Create seven four-panel comic strips featuring a lawyer, his talking dog, and an AI. The strips should follow an overarching story arc across all seven, but each one should stand on its own as a self-contained gag. The humor should lean closer to Luann than Garfield.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n ChatGPT’s reaction: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Love this concept. Slightly awkward, character-driven, warm humor with a continuing arc. Think gentle chaos, not sarcasm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Recurring characters:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Story arc:<\/strong> Evan enters a \u201cFuture of Law Innovation Pitch Night\u201d at his firm. He builds an AI demo with Baxter\u2019s \u201chelp.\u201d Things spiral\u2026 but land sweetly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And this is how Grok took ChatGPT’s bare bones concept and expanded it to create the strips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Create a clean newspaper-style 4-panel comic strip titled \u201cBillable Bytes.\u201d Art style:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Characters (must remain visually identical in every strip): <\/p>\n\n\n\n Minimalist blue-and-white interface, clean sans-serif text, simple analytics graphics. No human face. Tone: Light workplace humor, slightly awkward, warm, gentle \u2014 similar to Luann comic tone. Not cynical, not sarcastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The result:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Funny? Well, I’d say pleasant but not exactly humorous. (And what the heck is going on with comic strip animals and lasagna?) I don’t think I’ll wait for King Features Syndicate to call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You may also enjoy:<\/p>\n\n\n and if you like what you read, please subscribe below or in the right-hand column.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" February means it’s time for my semi-annual check-in on the state of humor in Artificial Intelligence.
