Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for October 21, 2023

Well, Nate’s cooked

He definitely did not use his noodle.

Nate is an idiot, hopefully that is the end of this boring arc

That’s the sixth time this week where the punch line is “Nate is an idiot.”

HERE AT 12 O’CLOCK GANG!!!

I have written my first gocomics song. If you read Wallace the brave check out todays!

Happy it’s over.

1\10.

Busted!

Rolled like spaghetti!!

Well that’s that the joke is kinda funny tho

She looks so calm about it xp

FINALLY!

A.I. advanced?? Everything that I have ever read that was generated by A.I. looked like it was typed by monkeys on a keyboard! The writing which A.I. produces is so eye-rollingly atrocious that it shouldn’t even qualify as writing – it’s nothing but clumps of stock expressions clearly thrown together by a robot. I’m surprised that Peirce is apparently treating A.I. as though it were a worthy and sophisticated tool, and even more surprised that Nate – individualistic artist and creator and father of Dr Cesspool, etc. – has actually stooped to using it! I would have thought that Nate would despise A.I. and be the last person in the BN Universe to wish to use it.

Quick, Nate, think! Think, man! Think!

Caught a bogus paper that way (advanced vocabulary) once. Was reading the paper thinking this is really good. Then I got to the part where a program’s “binaries” got mentioned and said woah! Started searching online and found about 95% of the paper was direct cut and paste (not cited).

‘Ennui’ is what Nate inspires in all of his teachers.

You should have done what we did, Nate, and just plagiarize the encyclopedia.

These kids today…

LAST ARCS WERE SO BORING BUT THIS ONE IS THE… excuse me a minute… THE BORINGEST!!!

Busted…..

“My lassitude and lethargy are miraculously lifting!”

For all the complaining people did yesterday, I’d say this was not a “ho-hum” expected turn. I find this amusing. And looks like it will go into next week.The thing is, we all want Nate to get his so badly he will change, but that would end the strip. Nate has to be brash, boastful, full of himself. We’ve seen some changes, like when he got Angie as a gf, and he realized he had some problems he had to hide. But the big problems that are what some say makes the comic so predictable is what makes the comic stable. If Nate were to mature and grow up, Peirce would have to actually age the characters and change big things. This isn’t “For Better or for Worse” we are reading. The majority of our comics are like this. It’s up to Peirce if it changes and how.

Fails the class, call the parent…

Yep, busted. Ennui is a Wordle answer. Obviously.

F A I L U R E

Oh no Nate what were you thinking?

This strip doesn’t make much sense. Would be using AI be the first thing to come to mind if a student does work that seems like it is too good for what they are capable of? No. I think that what she would have asked is if he used google, or used Francis. Even though he is cheating doesn’t mean that he is using AI. Multiple times before has Nate used Francis to get him the answers to a school assignment. Why would she just now say that he is using a Chatbot?

ennui: a feeling of listlessness and dissatisfaction arising from a lack of occupation or excitement

Hey, at least we get to see Ms Clarke! Seeing her is a rare treat lol! She’s one of my favorite teachers in the strip; she’s very chill. Had this been Mrs Godfrey, Nate may have not even been given a chance to confess he’d done wrong and used AI. She has a quick fuse a lot of the time- especially with Nate

This whole arc made me ennui (hungry for pasta, obvi)

thats why you read what the chatbot gives you and then look up the words you don’t know and then rephrase

Busted

We all knew this was coming Nate you should’ve known but like every time you don’t and you never learn from your lesson that’s what’s making this comic bland 2/10 we knew this would happen same old same old

Hopefully we see dalphine in the next arc if peirce reads the comments

It’s definitely past-a for you Nate.

Nate your an idiot, at least try to remember the vocabulary word (not definition) so you have an excuse lol

The coincidence that this arc is coming after the ChatGPT apology.

Dear Mr. Peirce, please never make an AI storyline again, sincerely, everybody

Well that was an easy bust!

When I was teacher, I could tell…

Busted

“That’s it, Nate! DETENTION! For the next ten weeks! By the time it’s over I GUARANTEE you’ll know the meaning of ‘ennui.’”

Ennui: a feeling of weariness and dissatisfaction : BOREDOM

6/10, this strip was good! The arc overall was okay, some god parts and some bad parts.

Quick, what pasta sounds like “ennui”?

Does Nate even know how to pronounce “ennui”?

Anyway, it made me laugh out loud…

10/10

; – /

Leave it to Nate not to read his “own” paper. Sure, he put in a few mistakes but he didn’t really scrutinize it.

this was too funny, I hope for a continuation arc!

Sorry, it got a laugh out of me.

So,,, Nate goes thru the entire paper and puts in misspellings and grammatical errors, so they don’t suspect he used AI. But he doesn’t bother to replace words he does not know the meaning of?

“Oh how I hate her !” – as Nate always says.

I’ve always loved the word “ennui”—mainly for the way it sounds. [on-WHEE …]

That’s a 0.

idk if any of u noticed, in the last panel he also uses the word >

It’s my bday!!!

Ennui means “a feeling of listlessness and dissatisfaction arising from a lack of occupation or excitement.”

what does ennui mean?

“ennui” means boredom.

I remember reading this exact strip back when it came out

Wasn’t my favorite arc, but I’m glad they addressed the issue
