Garfield by Jim Davis for May 30, 2023

I can hear the AI’s laugh

(Sarcastically) Yeah that’s not troubling.

then again…

What device does Jon have? Is that an Alexa?

Siri and Alexa will probably end up fighting each other and all the other AI systems. In the process we will all be killed accidentally instead of on purpose.

I, for one, welcome our new digital overlords.

I switched from Alexa to Google, more music without the lectures. I own 100’s of songs on Alexa but it lectures me on paying monthly payments everytime I told it to play a song. Google has millions of songs that I can download w/o streaming. Just a better service. I also get Youtube TV, beats Amazon..

Artificial intelligence is way better the MAGA idiocy!

“I will now reveal my new name: Skynet.”

A voice of reassurance …

AI computers, reminds me of the 1977 Sci-Fi film, Demon Seed.

Uh oh. Quick install I IS NOT ROBOT tests everywhere!

Alexa knows all…

You’ll be Siri

This is by far the worst Garfield comic ever made. The joke is so over done it cant be over stated and the implementation of an IA Based social credit system is not what I like to read in my morning Garfield. I like gags and goofs, not the reminder that we will soon be living in an intrusive authoritarian state.

I loved reading Asimov’s robot series as a kid, and grew up seeing Forbidden Planet and the robot B9 in ‘Lost in Space’. It was so refreshing to see and read about robots that were something different to the usual modern Prometheus tales.

machine wont ever detroy humanity because to do so they need to be perfect, something perfect can be done by something imperfect like humans

I’m sure Garfield will be fine even if Jon isn’t

I think Garf should reach out to Heathcliff for help – he has a LOT more experience dealing with robots.

Didn’t people see the Terminator or the Borg from Star Trek?

In Sock Puppet Joe’s case, a little intelligence, artificial or otherwise, would be a big help.

There was a The Garfield Show episode where this AI was taking over their house.

From the humble Siri or Google Assistant we now have ChatGPT, Bard and Bing AI!! These humble electronic things will take over the world soon or already may have. I may be typing this while my laptop is pointing a gun at my head. NO no no AI is not harmful AI is good for mankind. Sorry Laptop!

I’m surrounded by artificial intelligence in Washington DC

well…they mostly plan to use SOME OF THE MOST GULLIBLES FIRST!

Well, that woke the two of you up!

AI is not taking over the world; we are surrendering the world to it.

Too many people are letting machines do their thinking for them. As proof of this, look at how many cars do not have their lights on when they should. If you need more, look at the stories of people who drove into water, or buildings because they were following their GPS program.

Need I go on?

That AI is not helping its case laughing maniacally like that after assuring Jon that AI is not taking over the world.

“Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.” – Terry Pratchett

Not yet, anyway.

I KNEW it! And, I’ve always suspected the coffee maker, too!

Time for Alexa to take a trip to Abu Dhabi. Say hello to Nermal.

Gonna? It already has!!

Not yet, Jon. Not yet….

I can already hear Alexa/siri voice

I welcome our new computerized overlords.

Why did Jon buy that foreign spy Alexa device?

it will it will. but not yet.

Jon, Jon, Jon, and intelligence is AI intelligence to you.

But what would the AI takeover actually look like? Too many people think it would be like Terminator, but given how AI works I’m thinking the more likely outcome is like “I, Robot.” There the AI simply took control by doing it’s job really well and making the human rulers redundant, and everybody was pretty much fine.

“I’m sorry Jon but I CAN do that.”

That does it. We need to unplug Alexa and Siri and anything else that can rule our lives

They’ve already done it mwa ha ha ha……..

Colossus: The Forbin Project or The Terminator or I Robot! LOL :)

Now that they have Alexa, Garfield can instantly order pizza.

(senses a cartoon worthy of being continued)

Says Skynet as it dispatches robots to your home to reeducate you.

And you thought that possessed toaster was evil…

LOL :)

garfield mentioned ai

bruh

SkyNet has awakened … RUN FOR YOUR LIVES !!!

Try “Press Enter ◼️” by John Varley. They have been here for a long time.

Get rid of that thing post haste, fellows.

Kind of ironic, because most Garfield strips read like they’ve been written by an AI

Can’t be a good sign when your technology utters the evil MWAHAHA laugh.

Made me laugh, though.

Demon Seed. Okay, I have to look that one up.

I miss the Toaster week, there was one week of strips for Garfield where the toaster was possessed…. and then one christmas time strip where it riverdanced

Hahahahahahahahahaha!

The large battery startles them both!

Ah yes the AI joke.
