Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Yeah absolutely, I'm specifically talking about AI as a neural network/reinforcement learning/machine learning and whatnot. Top of the line weather algorithms are now less accurate than neural networks.
LLMs as doctors are pretty garbage since they're predicting words instead of classifying a photo into yes/no or detecting which part of the sleep cycle a sleeping patient is in.
Fun fact, the closer you get the actual math the less magical the words become. Marketing says "AI", programming says "machine learning" or "neural network", mathematicians say "reinforcement learning".
I guess I worked with a guy working with algorithms and neural networks so I sorta just equated them. I was very obviously not a CS major.
Maybe it was my CS major talking there. An algorithm is a sequence of steps to reach a desired outcome such as updating a neural network. The network itself is essentially just a big heap of values you multiply through if you were curious.
