   I used to use claw caps on my cats, and I always went for clear, because I thought nail polish for cats was stupid. Then one time all they had were blue ones, so I bought them. I finally realized how useful the colored caps were because it was far easier to tell when one had fallen off.

   Though since the Doombas are here for AIs, perhaps the effect is tied to the AI distortion.

   Anyone else notice how the Mona Lisa’s eyes are also askew in the second panel, much like Elvis and Puck’s?

   Most likely, and as others have noted, its models also steal/use artists’ work in order to “train” the AI.

   As a friend noted, AI could be used for relative good, taking over tedious tasks and leaving people to have more time to create. Instead, it is being used to replace people in the creative process.

   It also niggles me that AI as we know it today is not true AI. No matter what anyone says, it does not have a true consciousness (or a conscience, for that matter). It’s just very fast at aggregating information sort of good at regurgitating it. People who use it and care spend more time cleaning up after it than they would have doing the work themselves.

   Also, when AI does get it wrong there’s a horrific potential for it to harm people — I’m thinking of misdiagnoses in the medical field, for example, if a Doctor isn’t around to do the aforementioned cleanup. And, when it is trained on hostile input, it can do racism, sexism, homophobia, and all of the other -isms and -phobias, but faster and more thoroughly than any human could hope to.

    I figure it’s that he has a sense of self-preservation that is ever-so-slightly stronger then the chaos gene. (He’s chaotic, but not chaotic stupid.)
