#webcomic #krita #miniFantasyTheater

A comic in four panels: Panel 1. Cepper, the Gothic Sorceress, sits at her workbench in the basement of the university with her iconic clothes and glasses on her head. She is surrounded by steampunk cogs, wires, circuits, and code snippets written on parchments. She's determined in front of her masterpiece, her own local AI Parrot looking like a big pigeon. > Cepper: "I did it! Running 100% locally now. My own machine, my own terms! hehe." Panel 2. She excitedly asks it a question, but it takes an eternity to respond. > Cepper: "Avian Intelligence, what's the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?" > Local AI Parrot: "1... 1... m... e... t... e... r... s... loading 2%" Panel 3. Cepper starts to realize the immense computational power required to run AI models remotely. She looks at her local AI Parrot and starts to wonder. > Cepper: "Ouch. That's painfully slow, even with the largest magical stone I had!" > Local AI Parrot: "p...e...r... s...e...c...o...n...d... loading 4%" Panel 4. A shot late at night, she sleeps deeply on a big armchair, while the local AI Parrot still finish to output. > Local AI Parrot: "a...n...d... t...h...a...t...s... a...l...l... loading 100%"
