I always thought a fun side gig (or even volunteer opportunity) would be defining panel areas for digital comics. Both because I'd get to read a lot of comics, and because a lot of comics I read are frustratingly bad at it, and it makes it much harder to enjoy them. Well, there goes AI taking our jerbs.

on the topic of AI and comic books, since ChatGPT was trained on Wikipedia and thousands of other properties with complete records of comic book lore, why does it get so many relatively basic comic book questions completely wrong? For example, I've asked several times to Jack GPT how did Psylocke temporarily gain the ability to move through shadows in the past? It was a side effect of drinking the Crimson Dawn elixir, which saved her life after she was nearly killed by Sabertooth. All of this information is readily available online. But ChatGPT completely makes up hallucinated explanations for this every time I ask it. Why is that?

Next AI challenge: try to infer the intended panel reading sequence, and the flow of speech bubbles/narrative.

Would potentially be a useful augmentation to a digital comic book reader, refocusing from panel to panel in sequence. Not to mention making comic book content more accessible.

Is that solvable? It's my personal experience that humans can't reliably do that; I could imagine a machine doing better, but I'm not sure what information it would be working with.
