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.

That brings up a significant problem - there are widely different things that are called AI. My company's customers are using AI for biochem and pharm research, protein folding, and other science stuff.
I do have a tech background in addition to being a medical student and it really drives me bonkers that we're calling these overgrown algorithms "AI". The generative AI models I suppose are a little closer to earning the definition as they are black-box programs that develop themselves to a certain extent, but all of the reputable "AI" programs used in science and medicine are very carefully curated algorithms with specific rules and parameters that they follow.
My company cut funding for traditional projects and has prioritized funding for AI projects. So now anything that involves any form of automation is "AI".
