Release #1 - GPT vs. Pretenders: initial myth

I believe we live in an age of metapolitics which, roughly, means the dominating worldview is not one that passes "most truthful" test, but "least harmful to the biosphere in general and human culture in particular" test. From the POV of someone in a process of being "almost cancelled", like me, a person belonging to Russian culture, this metapolitics might seem awful, nevertheless it's the best one we got if the human kind wants to have chances surviving the ongoing "posthuman" revolution. This series deals metaphorically with "metapolitical issues". For more check my website, https://nnikif.io

1: GPT vs. Pretenders: initial myth

327 views • Aug 04, 2025

This comic was a product of a heated LinkedIn discussion regarding ChatGPT's usefulness. Personally I'm sure that ChatGPT is the most radical practical invention since Gutenberg, but also, as in all overhype situation, 99% of those betting in the "ChatGPT model casino" will lose 99% of their bets to casino itself — you can't be doing exactly the same thing as a billion other people and expect different results, it's more crazy than what Einstein defined as madness. The comic has a few typos, but was produced using only (heavily customized) ChatGPT and Sora in less then four hours. (the prompt creation actually took 15 minutes max)

I get fully drawn into the story with every chapter. The art and storytelling are great. Are you making a new comic series?

@AjlinPaker: thank you! as many people, I'm doing several things at once, but yes, launching a new comic series looks like something that would be interesting

This sounds really exciting I’ll be waiting to see your new comic series when it launches. Did you get your comic made by another artist? By the way I’m an artist and I would love to create a comic for you at the best rate. I can also share my ideas and guide you step by step.

@AjlinPaker: this might shock you, but this was in fact drawn by AI. I put a lot of work in creating my custom GPT, and there's still a lot of work here anyway, but no living artist was involved. btw, I've spent 20* years doing photography and music videos, I have nothing at all against "real artists", it's just in this particular case AI made sense.
thank you for the offer, we might have stuff to discuss, but maybe not yet
