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.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Alt Text: The cartoon illustrates the problem of water use in the AI age: a farmer's child and his mother are pumping a little water from a well for their daily use. Two knights in armor, transporting a large, spherical water container on wheels, come by and say, "The King wishes to make more avatars of himself as a Ghibli character."
In the background, a castle sits enthroned on a hill. The cartoon illustrates the excessive water consumption required for AI model queries.

You already said that and I already responded.

Yeah, you responded with something that doesn't support your original claim at all.

What you are trying to do is called moving the goalpost.

If you acknowledge that your original claim is bullshit and want to move the goalpost, it's fine, but you have to say that you're doing so.

Like this:

Yeah, I originally said that they're doing that nowadays, but after some research, I have found that my claim has no basis in truth. However, I found this post from oracle that I want to discuss about.

Then sure, I can choose to engage with this new goalpost or not. But I refuse to argue with a moved goalpost if you don't even admit that you moved it.

You know what, you're right. I did move the goalposts and then doubled down out of ego. I let my pride get the better of me.

I will admit that I originally made a claim with no credible evidence. This was wrong of me and I will not continue to dig myself into a hole.

Thank you for calling that out.

That is actually a rare occurrence.

Thank you for being honest and logical
