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

Most of the time it took me do this since I posted your image as a meme, and this one I made, was installing a phone app, realizing it wasn't installing because I have it configured to not install with mobile data, then learn how the app works + I used my finger (a simple touchpen is cheap af to the point it sometimes comes with some regular pens, I have one but it's broken lmao). Hella easier on PC with a mouse and my PC shortcuts, or with a working touchpen, imo, but easy as fuck anyways.
Edit: I forgot to add the last guy his arms crossed or something, I should just go sleep XD
Last panel has strong Carl vibes
This is so much better. Thank you for spending the roughly 5 minutes to make this that OP should have spent instead of barfing out some soulless junk.
The glass is floating in the air. The excel character says something without a speaking bubble. Looks kinda souless.
Probably just AI slop.

Someone explain to me why i have a sense for ai? This is like the fourth time this week i see an ai image and i spotted it even tho at first i hadnt seen the mistakes the ai made. Something just feels off in ai pictures and i cant really pin down what it is. But when i see one i can just spot it for some reason.
Uncanny valley. The AI gets things right overall, but not enough that you don't realize somerhing is wrong.
For me it's the arms being fused with the table,pessimist only having one arm, the faces that feel too generic/soulless (like, they barely change between pesimist and excel), the "optimist" being the glass and not another character...
The glass is also weirdly large considering it looks like it should be at roughly the same distance as the people.
The glass is also speaking, as opposed to a third person.
I noticed that the new image model doesn't like pure white backgrounds.
It's become such a reliable tell that I'm genuinely curious why AI seems to think that cartoon images MUST look like they're drawn on old paper.
EDIT: The AI answer I got when asking Google was about what I'd expect, but this last bit I hadn't considered:
Sepia tones can help unify the color palette of an image, making it more visually cohesive and pleasing. This could be a factor in the AI's decision to use sepia, as it can contribute to a sense of order and harmony in the generated image.
So it uses it to try and make it more visually appealing to a wide audience, leading to it looking even more bland and uninspired.

I can sense AI now.
Was this made by ai? It looks soulless, and the coffee cup is talking.
the coffee cup is talking
Yours don't?
No, I misspoke. My water cups talk.

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.
I mean, I know of a Microsoft product that allows for a batch import of data provided in an Excel file. You need to use their template file. Which, when used, automatically formats all dates the American way, ignoring your locale settings. Depending on which date is first encountered on import (e.g. which date you entered in the first line) then designates whether the whole file is imported with dates read as MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY.
You start your list on January 1st? It will import everything as MM/DD/YYYY then. You start you list on e.g. January 22nd? DD/MM/YYYY it is then. Good luck getting that import running without errors...
MM/DD/YYYY
DD/MM/YYYY
Both of these are the wrong way to format dates.

Honestly, for a community (lemmy) that wanted to get away from corporate stuff (reddit) it pains me to see how even the most basic thing to draw is being delegated to Ai (corporations).
I've come to the conclusion in the last couple weeks I simply can't identify AI images anymore. I have no clue what about this makes everyone call it out as AI, and there's have been many such instances of this happening with me lately. I'm going to get modern day Nigerian princed when I'm older I can feel it in my bones
The reason this one is blatant AI is that the imagery doesn’t make any sense. Why is the glass of water itself the optimist?
I fed it into ChatGPT, highlighted the errors, and told it what I wanted to be different.

Most of it for me is the font. It seems like chatgpt likes to use the same font for everything
It also kind of feels off somehow. I can't explain. it, but there's just something wrong with this image
I mean.. for me it’s the “why the fuck is the glass talking?”

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
it's funny how you can tell at a glance exactly what model generated this image, just based off the background color
