Scientists rename human genes to stop Microsoft Excel from misreading them as dates
Sometimes it’s easier to rewrite genetics than update Excel

Best thing is, they introduced some settings to turn that auto-conversion off and they don’t work 🤣 can’t make that stuff up.
Nothing works in Excel. Excel will do what it wants.
But that doesn’t stop the MS support and a thousand stupid people from claiming “oh, you just have to format it as text, are you dumb or what”…
Not OP, but let’s make this better:
PS: i doubt anyone here would honestly say “damn, that’s beyond my skill”, which goes to show that “not everyone can draw” is a bullshit argument for using AI to make comics
The glass is floating in the air. The excel character says something without a speaking bubble. Looks kinda souless.
Probably just AI slop.
I’ve been exposed! 🤖
“Please put your pants back on robot sir.” 🙊
I promise this is relevant and I am not a bot or rickroll
If you’re going to pout, we can put you in the corner. That might be funny.

How could you tell that was AI? I honestly just thought that was a drawing
There’s quite a discussion about that further elsewhere in this thread. To me, the combination of vector-like thick lines with that background color, the characters having such mute expressions and there not being one actual optimist.
Others also pointed to the “weirdness” that is the lines of the characters’ arms becoming part of the table, which I didn’t notice at first.
Perhaps more importantly, it does not look like the “author” has “zero drawing skill”, but actually knows how to make vector art, even if relatively simple. That makes the problems more glaring
Who asked the glass?
it’s funny how you can tell at a glance exactly what model generated this image, just based off the background color
just based off the background color
… white?
technically I guess it’s between Cosmic latte and Desert sand
…I had to look those up but it’s definitely not a plain white
Well which one is this one? (This was a crosspost so I don’t know lmao)
The new one by openai, “gpt-4o image generation”
Also why is the glass talking wtf?
There’s also some nasty artifacting around the lines, nat look like but not exactly JPEG.
Why the fuck is the glass talking
Freedom of speech I assume.
Was this made by ai? It looks soulless, and the coffee cup is talking.
Who drinks coffee out of a transparent pint glass?
Me if I don’t think properly.
the coffee cup is talking
Yours don’t?
No, I misspoke. My water cups talk.
Or Jan-2
Ew
I can sense AI now.
More like 44567
Best I can do is 7.45678e17
Yesterday I laughed at this, today Excel stripped leading zeros from a sheet of UPCs and converted them to floating point.
Also format as Text apparently means nothing
The glass is half foal.
Hard to belle-ieve
I admire that glass’s self confidence
Pessimist has only one arm
The engineer: The glass is two times bigger than it needs to be.
