Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I understand, but in that case, you can just say "that's a waste of energy, breath and time" instead of asking why.
At least ai can be powered with renewables. Not the case for cars.
Nah, it can't.
It burns up GPUs. I don't know if you know what GPUs are made of, but it ain't kitten purrs and unicorn farts.
With that logic, using you car burns your car.
GPUs and cars and not consumables. It's not something they use for a month and throw away, nor is something they don't care if they break. They take care of the GPUs so that they las as long as possible
Exactly.
Cars can be powered by electricity just like this stupid "AI" can and theoretically, that electricity could be generated by renewable energy sources.
Both are leaving other (non-renewable) items involved in their manufacture and maintenance out of the equation in order to equivocate for their potential as eco-friendly hobbies.
The answer is simple: neither are eco-friendly hobbies.
