Robot Eats 10 Baby Giraffes a Day, Still Answers Questions Wrong

Description

A four-panel webcomic (copyright 2026 Aram J. French, mandatoryrollercoaster.com) with simply drawn figures on a mint-green background. Panel 1: an excited bald man in a hoodie tells another man, 'WE INVENTED A ROBOT THAT ANSWERS QUESTIONS'. Panel 2: standing beside a grey retro robot, he adds 'WE JUST HAVE TO FEED IT 10 BABY GIRAFFES A DAY' while the listener reacts with a startled '!'. Panel 3: the listener asks, 'BUT IT ANSWERS THE QUESTIONS CORRECTLY?'. Panel 4: the inventor, hands on chest, replies 'OH MY GOODNESS, NO. NO NO NO NO NO'. A sharp satire of large language models: grotesque resource consumption (energy, water, GPUs - here, baby giraffes) in exchange for confidently incorrect answers, skewering the cost-versus-accuracy trade-off of the AI hype cycle
