Dilbert loses newspapers, publishers, distributor, and possibly its website

I imagine "AI Cartoons" being like Jerk City (published for decades starting in 1998).
The gag is the same in each strip: an uninformed reader would think someone actually wrote and drew it, but as a qualified expert I know that the whole thing is just somebody on IRC (with Microsoft Comic Chat) pressing the PrScr key.

I think due to the format, Scott could totally train an AI to make daily comic strips and we would have no idea that he is doing that. Insert every now and then the building shown from the outside with floating text, gotta reuse that frame.

He's actually talked about this very thing quite a bit. His feeling is that it won't work because AI can't "feel" when a joke is funny, it's got no feedback mechanism like that.
Also, AI doesn't do anything new, it's just a language model that uses existing work as a reference and tried to think of variations on that. So it would get stale very quickly.

Are you saying Scott Adams is an AI bot? That would be intriguing. I suppose this would be one way towards  proving it. But not conclusively. The comics could be unfunny stale variations without fresh ideas and hard work even from a human. It is entirely possible he would do this. If he is getting subscription money regardless of the quality of the comics then why not.

There is probably some legal or ethical hazard to publishing falsely as Scott Adams in syndicated publications but doing it as an AI bot masquerading as Scott Adams in a closed subscription only platform is a great joke to play on the gullible subscribers. Who may never notice.

Well you are all bots are you not?

Imagine that, a fake reality, creating it's own fake reality and fooling the original fake reality.

I think you're being sarcastic. But maybe not. Someone once told me I was gullible, and I believed them.
