SightEngine, an AI image checker tool, declaring the original image is AI generated with 99% confidence.

4 panel comic Panel 1: A dad and his child watch a kids tv show featuring a big cuddly bear and a small cute dog (who is eating a pizza) Bear, gesturing to dog, says: This is Spot. They like pizza a lot. Panel 2: Dad, immediately incandescent with rage shouts: “They” Oh my God what the hell is this?? In a kids show??” Panel 3: Dad, now ascending on a wave of frothy fury points to his child and yells: This is gonna confuse you!! You won’t learn!! You’re gonna need therapy!! Panel 4: Therapist’s office. A therapist makes notes. The child, now an adult, lies on a couch and says: …And my dad would just start screaming at cartoons…

won’t somebody think of the childrennnn
