Cringe Pro-AI Comic Strip

by qubodup - uploaded on January 9, 2026, 2:51 pm

This is a sickeningly cringe January 2026 result of the ChatGPT 5.2 prompt "Make a 4 panel black and white cartoon that praises the uploading of ai generated art to openclipart with a comedic twist; black and white flat style, only copying public domain sources, to be traced to svg and uploaded to openclipart later." - Then traced in Adobe Illustrator and minified (to very little effect) in SVGOMG. Fun fact: the generated bitmap image had some color (4th panel cat's nose center was pink, turned black during the tracing).

My displeasure with this does not summarize my thoughts on the topic.

I also asked for a summary.

Panel 1:

A simple black-and-white cartoon figure sits at a desk using a laptop. The style is flat and clean with thick outlines. A small sparkle near the computer suggests creativity or inspiration. The character smiles confidently, and a speech bubble reads: “I’ll make some AI art!”

Panel 2:

The same character happily holds up two printed drawings: a cute cartoon rocket ship and a friendly cartoon cat. Both designs are simple, bold, and clearly suited for clipart use. The character looks proud, with a speech bubble saying: “These look great!” Text below reads: “AI Generated Clipart!”

Panel 3:

The character sits at the computer again, pointing at the screen. On the monitor, bold text reads: “UPLOAD COMPLETED!” with a check mark underneath. The character smiles, and a speech bubble says: “Time to upload to Openclipart!”

Panel 4:

The final panel shows the cartoon rocket, cat, and a smiling globe character brought to life. They dance joyfully together with musical notes floating around them. Speech bubbles read: “We’re on Openclipart!”, “Hooray! Free for everyone!”, and “Clipart party time!” The scene celebrates free sharing and public-domain art with a playful, comedic tone.
