A new ripoff of an old classic
Is it a ripoff if they credit the original?
Are you implying that the credit is here? If so, where? I am not seeing it.
Lower right corner.
I honestly didn't notice that - it was a bit small and pixelated, good catch
Thanks!:-)
Shocked the title of the original isn’t Little Bobby Tables.
Yeah, that's the name of the character, but not the comic strip.
Bottom right
Bottom right.
if they make it almost exactly the same and “credit” it in the smallest font possible and didn’t get permission from the original author… i would say that’s definitely a ripoff
didn't get permission from the original author
Tell me you don't know xkcd without saying you don't know xkcd.

Tell me you don't know xkcd without saying you don't know xkcd.
tell me you’re completely uncreative without telling me you’re completely uncreative.
the rest of what i said stands… but whooooa you “got me” i didn’t read the license on xkcd
It's a parody
It's not a parody. It's a homage
it's not a hoe-midge, it's an oh-marge
It's not an oh-marge, it's ho-mahg-ee.
its not a ho, Marge. Gee, she's a real person.
It's not a homage, it's just the exact same joke.
But updated for our new hellscape!
How is this a parody? It’s not poking fun at the original or pointing out its flaws.
quoth wikipedia: "A parody is a creative work designed to imitate, comment on, and/or mock its subject by means of satirical or ironic imitation." ... "The literary theorist Linda Hutcheon said 'parody ... is imitation, not always at the expense of the parodied text.'"
yeah, and that’s not a parody.
In a version that doesn’t even fully make sense. With databases there is a well-defined way to sanitize your inputs so arbitrary commands can’t be run like in the xkcd comic. But with AI it’s not even clear how to avoid all of these kinds of problems, so the chiding at the end doesn’t really make sense. If anything the person should be saying “I hope you learned not to use AI for this”.
A three digit xkcd, that one has been around a while.
