How I made an Anti-AI art style
YouTube
@davidrevoy I recently released a Halloween story on my professional writing blog (https://ursineunder.world/2026/10/07/semper-fidelis/), and because I knew some tw*t would try to train AI on it, I added this clause at the end.
If I ever catch a company ingesting my work, I might very well call a lawyer and try to collect.
@davidrevoy it's funny to me, because hacking LLMs is a lot like magic. You have to repeat funny nonsensical invocations and project your minds representation of what you think is going on inside an inscrutable black box, and reliably produce the same result without understanding the exact underlying mechanism.
@Netraven @davidrevoy It's usually in other contexts, but part of what makes me sad here is that "wizard" is related to wisdom, and the ancient stories about wizards are about people who could do amazing things because of their profound understanding of the world.
And a lot of the jokes about computer wizards are that kind of idea. They could do things with computers because they understand computers.
But they're giving it up. They want to get on with casting fireball without having to understand fire.
@Netraven @davidrevoy Also I just noticed the bit about PyroCircus and PyroCorona in the lower left of the chalkboard, which looks a lot like some things written on the notepad on my desk.
@foolishowl @davidrevoy it actually ties in to an earlier comic, if I recall correctly.
@Netraven @foolishowl Correct! The Meat Proxy episode, during a long quest to find how to cast a Ring of Fire spell https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/miniFantasyTheater/072.html
@davidrevoy @foolishowl hooray! memory works today.
@davidrevoy
Potential next round: Cepper writes as many swearwords as she can into her formulas and spell names so that the data is poisoned.
Also, every spell results in a poison spell, or constipation with a « homard chie » 
@nekohayo 🤣 🤣 🤣 Hahaha, I forgot about "homard chie", thank you for the reminder.
@davidrevoy The nuance between protecting personal creation and training models on open dataset is such a delicate line! Beautifully drawn as always, and raises very valid questions about digital rights
@davidrevoy So now we know who caused the last pandemic
@gunchleoc 🤣 lol, it took me a good 30sec to link between the Corona Virus and the Pyro Corona spell. But I had a sincere laugh when I got it 😂
@davidrevoy Time to smash the parrot who has scanned the board ?
@Sobex That's unfortunately all already in the dataset, distant; it would just kill a client, the head of an Hydra with thousands.
Still, if it calm nerves, it can be considered as therapeutic 
@davidrevoy
It could use a version with the topic of consent.
@davidrevoy I'd would just add some malicious or intentional errors.
Like casting "Ring of Fire" (aka PyroCorona) OUTSIDE IN.
This will teach 'em!
@davidrevoy Avian Intelligence is probably going to think that the Ring of Fire spell is 'Pyrocircus Slop Pyrocorona' now since it won't understand the strike-through. 😹
@davidrevoy thanks a lot for that! that also very much reflects what I've been doing with licenses already and this sums up when beings argue I should use GPL cause my "exotic" Cooperative Non-Violent license hasn't proven in court and evil state actors can use it regardless. And I still use that license!
@davidrevoy Cepper looks quite happy... no.... content? (words are hard) in the last panel.
You transport a lot of hope with that, it made me less anxious. Thanks.
