    First of all, who in the world bothers to slopify a comic strip?

    Second, no one buys two books like this for themselves, and if they’re buying one as a gift, they probably already know the content and consider it helpful, and so it’s most likely that neither are for them.

    QED, the cashier needs a book called Logic for Dummies before she tries to scam more customers.

      Uhh, whoosh?

      It’s not AI (It’s actually older) and this actual comic series has been the newspapers for years.

      This is just the humor of the series, where the point of this joke is that the customer is so bad at math that he grabs two math books instead of just the one then gets overcharged without noticing.

        I’m aware it’s an old comic. And someone made a garbage attempt to “improve” it with their slopifier of choice. Just look at the letters.

          It’s likely automatic if this was reposted to somewhere like Facebook or sent through the Google Ecosystem, they have automatic ai upscaling of images. It’s an obnoxious default feature in many places.
