Panel 1. Cepper, the gothic sorceress, walks toward a large steampunk machine in the center of the library written "Gooblin" on it, colored letters. The machine resembles a rusty block, with a threadmill on one side, a seat and a typewriter-style keyboard.  
> Cepper: "A good old 'search engine', this is what I need for my research!"  Panel 2. Close up, Cepper types on the typewriter keyboard, looking at the screen.  
> Cepper: "R.I.N.G. O.F. F.I.R.E  S.P.E.L.L.S.  *enter*"  
> Cepper: "...And voilà."  Panel 3. The machine spits out dozens of scrolls and books. Cepper reads them.  
> Cepper: "Wait... Why are these results so bad?..."  
> Books 1: "(Ad) Ten Fire Spells That Will Change Your Life (You Won't Believe the 7th!)"  
> Books 2: "(Sponsored) 15 Spicy Onion Ring Recipes"  
> Books 3: "(For you) Top 5 Best Engagement Rings"

> Books 6: "(Sponsored) Cheap Fire-Resistant Panties! (50% Off Today Only!)"Panel 4. A librarian approaches, their AI Parrot perched on their shoulder, pointing it. Cepper looks defeated, her eyes blasé.
> Librarian: "Yeah, they tuned it this way so everyone just uses their Avian Intelligence for searching now..."
> Cepper: "...How unsurprising."

> Cepper: "Yeah, I realized the benefits weren't worth the costs."  Panel 3. Amall is confused, and Cepper continues her speech, confident.  
> Amall: "The... costs?"  
> Cepper: "The ecological costs. The data scraping. How it's all controlled by a handful of corporations..."  
> Cepper: "But mostly how it made my brain lazier and lazier..."  Panel 4. Cepper now asks Amall a question with a pleading pose. Amall realizes her friend invited her with an ulterior motive and responds with a blasé attitude, her pointy hears turning down.

> Cepper: "More than anything, I'm tired of how you Avian Intelligences are using those same expressions over and over…" Panel 2. The Parrot replies, Cepper looks even more tired, rolling her eyes to the ceiling.  
> Parrot: "Absolutely! The key takeaway here is to ask me for different vocabulary."  
> Parrot: "Why it works:  It isn't just new words — it's genuine new composition."  
> Parrot: "That's your point — that's your solution."
> Cepper: "*Sigh*" Panel 3. Parrot continues, while Cepper's just try to interupt him, unimpressed.  
> Parrot: "Let me break this down for you."  
> Parrot: "Picture this — a new tapestry of intricate words that delve deeper."

Panel 4. Parrot remains absorbed in his speech as Cepper burry her head on the pillow of the bed, shaking with a contained rage.

Panel 1. Cepper, the gothic sorceress, stands on her high chair, in her painting workshop, with an empty canvas in front of her on the easel. Her expression is blank, staring in the void. On his perch nearby, her Avian Intelligence (AI) Parrot speaks out loud a notification.

> Parrot: "Third major magic school this week after the *Pointy Hat* and *Daemon*."  
> Cepper: "..."Panel 2. The Parrot leans forward, studying Cepper's face. She hasn't moved.  
> Parrot: "I thought that would make you furious."

> Cepper (smaller): "And all motivation..."Panel 3. General shot in the workshop, Parrot process while Cepper slowly pick one brush from a pot aside of the canvas.  
> Parrot: "So what are you going to do?"  
> Cepper: "Paint what I actually feel."  Panel 4. Close up of Cepper applying a brush stroke on the canvas. Her voice is quiet, her eyes still blasé, but trying to focus on the canvas. She made a first step.
> Cepper: "If this resonates with someone... that will be well enough."  
> Cepper: "Enough to not feel alone in this."

The Aesthetic Rebellion Bonus speedpaint: www.peppercarrot.com/en/miniFanta... #webcomic #krita #miniFantasyTheater
Panel 1. Cepper is happy of herself in front of her large canvas: a beautiful painting as she did on the previous episodes. The parrot looks at what she does on his perch.  
> Cepper: “Alright, this is how I usually do it.”  
> Parrot: "That style has high coherence for training data − I love it."Panel 2. Cepper took her brush and now scribble on the canvas.  (note: visual concept of the episode: the panel style itself is altered while Cepper tells it.) The Parrot feels uneasy.  
> Cepper: "I know, and that's exactly the problem. I should start by making the outline rougher."Panel 3. Cepper is adding thick painting directly from the tube, and now rub furiously her canvas, many colors and glitches. The Parrot start to be horrified.  
> Cepper: "...more angular shapes, a rougher texture, and an overall less polished look."
Panel 4. The style is totally degraded: shapes, colors, glitches. Cepper leaves the canvas with triumph, throwing her brush, while the Parrot is now really horrified in front of it.  
> Cepper: "Perfect. Try to train on that now, you tin can."

> AI Parrot: Ah, so you find relaxation in watching the bubbles float away peacefully.Panel 4. Extreme close-up on Cepper's eyes, darker and intense while the bubbles pop in front of her eyes. The AI Parrot "get it" and feels an intense fear.

New blog-post: "When online commenters 'detect' my art as AI" → www.davidrevoy.com/article1164/...
Screenshots of comments from various platforms:

- but is WAY to similar to Al 
- Is this Al or just made to look that way?
- was the ai style in purpose too? 3
- Your art looks like low quality Al 
- Trying to figure out if this is ai
- Dang, it's crazy seeing the source art style to so00o many of those Al slop comics, kinda surreal.
- I have a feeling the faces feel off
- this isn't the transcript, this is just the exact same script you gave to the Al - this art looks hella ai generated
- Nice comic. What prompt? 
- Shitty Al art
- AI? LMAO .
- You must be John Art because it seems that it stole from you the most
- Is it me or the proportions looks like Ai art?

> Parrot: "The hundreds I made a minute ago are really in the same vein."  
> Parrot (in small): "Love your yellows!"  
> Cepper: "Shut up."

In one room of the dungeon, a giant beautiful and inviting door with a red carpet, and on the side, in the shadow a too little door.

In front of them, a giant ghost warrior with his sword posing dramatically, nostalgic, hand and eyes lost in the ceiling.

> Ghost: "I'd trade all this gold to hear a music box's melody again..."  
> Adventurer: "..."Panel 4. Later, on the path, the adventurer walks, crushed under the weight of a hundred small objects in a big improvised backpack made with a large bed sheet: books, flowers, a ladder, gardening tools, a cheese, a broom, etc... But he has determination in his eyes to carry on. The fairy tries to reason him.  
> Pink fairy: "Are you sure about this?"  
> Adventurer: "YES. WE'RE KEEPING EVERYTHING NOW!"

The Matchbox Kingdom Stuck 4 hours at the train station yesterday, so I drew this entire world freehand with just a ballpoint pen. No pre-sketch, no plan, the story just appeared. Full story: www.davidrevoy.com/article1134/... #Sketchbook #BallpointPen #traditionalart
A photo detailed ballpoint pen drawing in a sketchbook depicting a sleeping fairy on a matchbox, surrounded by an assembled army of mice. The fairy lies peacefully under a blanket with her wings visible, her discarded clothes on the floor beside the matchbox. A cherry sits nearby, remnants of her dinner. Around her, an intricate mouse civilization has gathered: a shaman mouse observes her intently, soldier mice display varied reactions of fear and uncertainty, a female priest mouse stands with her servants gesturing to others as if announcing a prophecy. Additional details include a soldier mouse with a lizard familiar wearing a belt and carrying gears, and another mouse mounted atop a small passerine bird. The composition is densely detailed with numerous characters and interactions filling the space around the central sleeping figure, all rendered in black ballpoint pen with no preliminary sketch.

> Local AI Parrot: "1... 1...  m... e... t... e... r... s... loading 2%"

Panel 3. Cepper starts to realize the immense computational power required to run AI models remotely. She looks at her local AI Parrot and starts to wonder.

The first dose is free... #webcomic #krita #miniFantasyTheater
A comic in four panels:

Panel 1. The Gothic Sorceress paces back and forth on the foundation of her house: all that remains are the floor tiles and the outlines of the walls. The Avian Intelligence (AI) flies while watching her. In the distance, a storm is approaching: lightning streaks across the sky.  
> Gothic Sorceress: “Let’s think about this. Given your powers, you can probably build me a brand-new house, right?”  

Panel 2. Close-up: the stoic Avian Intelligence and the Gothic Sorceress, cheerful and excited by the good news, as a few raindrops fall.  
> Avian Intelligence: “That is indeed a task I can handle. Shall I make it just like the one before?”  
> Gothic Sorceress: “Yes!”

Panel 3. Same shot, Avian Intelligence seems to have shifted into a different mode. The Gothic Sorceress is shocked and protests, exclaiming.  
> Avian Intelligence: “Oops, I can't. You have exceeded your request quota for this month.”  
> Gothic Sorceress: “WHAT?!”

Panel 4. Under now heavy rain, the Gothic Sorceress has turned her back and is trying to contain her intense anger, clenching her fists. Avian Intelligence continues its sales pitch:  
> Avian Intelligence: “Subscribe now to Avian Intelligence Premium for unlimited requests!”  
> Gothic Sorceress: “Grrr!!!!”

Don't ever give elevated permissions to an Avian Intelligence... #webcomic #krita #miniFantasyTheater
A comic in four panels:  

Panel 1. The Gothic Sorceress stands in the middle of the ruins of her house, in the middle of the mess the floor; a consequence of the night with the Tree Spirits. She's looking overwhelmed. She talks a bit in the void, eyes lost in the distance. Her Avian Intelligence (AI) Parrot listen, perched on a wall in ruins.  
> Gothic Sorceress: "Ugh, it'll take weeks to clean this up."  

Panel 2. A closer zoom on the AI Parrot, replying to the Gothic Sorceress.  
> AI Parrot: "I know a spell or two for that, but I need the highest permission level. Can you grant it to me?"
> Gothic Sorceress: ""Granted." It can't get any worse anyway..."  

Panel 3. A tempest erupts inside the room, the AI Parrot flies in the middle like a majestic and all powerful bird: he is casting a spell loudly. Lightning flashes, cloud of dust are twirling, and many debries are flying. The Gothic Sorceress protect her face with her hands, in emergency.  
> AI Parrot: "Arehem Dash Areheff Root!"

Panel 4. The aftermath of the spell: only the floor of the house survived. Just the tiles on the floor, lost in the middle of the natures with trees and grass. The room are empty, except a toilet seat in a corner. The AI Parrot is proud of his work while the Gothic Sorceress stares at the scene, seating still dizzy after the tornado. She feels powerless in front of the result.  
> AI Parrot: "Cleaning successful, room reset."
> Gothic Sorceress: "I take it back. It **can** get worse."

Overreliance #webcomic #krita #miniFantasyTheater
A comic in four panels:

Panel 1. It's night, and the rain pours through the windows like... cats and dogs (see previous episode). The group of the five Tree Spirits are playing with the Gothic Sorceress's home accessories and decoration, making a mess. The Gothic Sorceress, in the middle, in a yoga lotus pose with candles around her tries to contain their actions, but they are too much. She asks her AI Parrot:  
> Gothic Sorceress: "Avian Intelligence, tell them in their language to stop! They're making a mess!"  

Panel 2. The AI Parrot doesn't react, displaying a spinning loading symbol in its speech bubble. The Gothic Sorceress urges it to hurry as the Tree Spirits continue their actions, breaking things, playing with fire, and spilling ink.  
> AI Parrot: (Loading Symbol Icon)  loading...  
> Gothic Sorceress: "Come on! Hurry up!"

Panel 3. The AI Parrot's eyes are now crossed and their light turn off. It is obviously disconnected. The Gothic Sorceress feels distress as she realizes she can't communicate with the Tree Spirits anymore and start to panic, while the Tree Spirits action are more extreme: one burn a part of her haircut, another one pushed a book on a candle, and she has ink all over her hands.    
> AI Parrot: "Network error. Disconnecting."  
> Gothic Sorceress: "No... No!! Not NOW!!!"

Panel 4. The next day, the AI Parrot finally reconnects, happy and fresh, but the house is in ruins, with smokes, everything is broken, upside down... The Gothic Sorceress sits on the floor, she looks exhausted and apathetic: the five Tree Spirits are all sleeping cutely on her lap.
> Narrator: "The next day..."  
> AI Parrot: "Network restored. Hi there, how can I help you?"  
> Gothic Sorceress: "Too late..."

Literal Translations #webcomic #krita #miniFantasyTheater
A comic in four panels:

Panel 1. The Gothic Sorceress with an umbrella, under an heavy rain is delicately plucking the Avian Intelligence from the trashbin of the school, taking it by the back of his colar, and rising it to the level of her face to get a serious talk to it. She frown, while staring intensively at the filthy creature.  
> Gothic Sorceress: "You're in luck, I found a group of magical creatures and need your translation skills."

Panel 2. A few moment later, in the midst of a luxurious forest, a group of small glowing tree spirits gazes at the AI Parrot and the Gothic Sorceress. Their expressions are innocent and curious, they are cold, and protecting themselves under two improvised umbrellas made with large leaves. The Gothic Sorceress point her finger at the small group while talking to the Avian Intelligence Parrot.  
> Gothic Sorceress: "Tell these tree spirits I invite them home because it's raining cats and dogs."

Panel 3. Dialog between the AI Parrot, speaking in ancient runes to the puzzled tree spirits, who respond in the same dialect.

Panel 4. The AI Parrot translates back to the Gothic Sorceress while the tiny tree spirits look on, still perplexed. The Gothic Sorceress appears unimpressed by the AI Parrot's inaccurate translation.
> AI Parrot: "The tree spirits say there are no cats or dogs, are worried about your mental health, but accept your invitation."  
> Gothic Sorceress: "Next time, don't translate me **that** literally..."
