It was written by AI? I heard it was back atleast a little bit I hadn't heard that. Damn

I was misremembering apparently, or at least onstad distanced himself from it after some articles came out?

I googled it and found this

Where he clarifies the AI is basically that he made a ray chatbot to replace the ray’s place section of the site, but the new comics are actually written by him. So that’s pretty cool that the comics are legit. They’re locked behind patreon so I haven’t read any but maybe I will, I loved achewood for years, it was the best webcomic by miles imo.

Though tbf it would’ve probably been preferable to just retire the advice column part instead of having a shitty LLM butcher his character. Such is life I guess
