Explanation
This comic explores the unintended consequences of using AI to reconstruct a deceased grandmother's personality from her correspondence.
A presenter announces: "The good news is we were able to use machine learning and your grandmother's email correspondence to give this projection the ability to answer questions the way your grandmother might have." Then: "The bad news: about one-third of your grandmother's correspondence was erotic emails with your grandfather."
The family reacts with escalating horror. Someone says: "You want a drawing, you little s---? No dogs bowl." The AI grandmother doesn't even ask a question but launches into: "It's mostly interesting because sometimes there's nice things here." The presentation devolves further, with the family pleading: "Can't we just go? See, it's Christmas. NOW OPEN!" The AI grandmother's personality turns out to be more revealing than expected: "It's actually a power-true cool grandmother destruct... know."
The comic plays on the growing trend of using AI to simulate deceased loved ones, pointing out a fundamental problem: training an AI on someone's complete correspondence means it learns everything about them, including the parts their family never wanted to know about. The joke is that grandparents were complete human beings with private lives, and an AI trained on all their communications would faithfully reproduce aspects of their personality that were deliberately kept private — to the horror of their descendants.
