I can't believe they re-colored the entire first comic to make the Smurfs purple and not black. That's hilarious

+1 for Dirkjan, always. Another classic https://dirkjan.nl/cartoon/20231004_3677623503/ And this one always gets me too: https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fw... with the "Jesmurfa's witness"
I don't get that first one :(

Not AI. Indexed in 2020 by the wayback machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20201001000000*/https://www.pipe... Why GPT writing sounds like the median lazy blog post of five years ago is left as an exercise for the reader.
But facts? That goes against the hive mind

What, you think the article was written by AI? Why?
I guess because it is full of guesswork and devoid of real factual research (at least for the main headline question). But it turns out that bloggers looking for content and lacking any skill are also capable of writing plausible-sounding slop.
I wouldn’t call this article slop

#36Smurfs are most probably bald, as discussed in this thread on a good old fashioned forum: https://bluebuddies.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi/topic/1/1485.... And my unopular opinion is that Smurfette is most probably wearing a wig.
Why is that website?

#37Dutch catoonist Dirkjan revealed the real answer already years ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/dirkjan/s/zszexnXLRu
ChatGPT's translation:
Panel 1 Waiter: "Sir, I’d like to ask you to take off your cap in this restaurant." Smurf: "Take off my cap? You’re not asking me to take off my pants, are you?!"
Panel 2 Waiter: "That’s not the same." Smurf: "That is the same."
Panel 3 Cook (to waiter): "Let him put his cap back on." Waiter: "That’s maybe better."

#38This is almost certainly completely wrong, the smurfs get their hat designs from the type of hats that gnomes and dwarves and goblins usually wear in germanic folklore, the most well known of all being the garden dwarves, whose design also inspired the dwarves in snow white. The design of garden dwarves is quite recent and apparently come from miners. The hats were filled with straw to protect the miner's head from t…
But the article does cover that. German gnomes (Kobolde, especially Hödekin) are usually depicted with pointy hats, or at least ones that curl backwards. The smurf hats are clearly wearing Phrygian caps.
A quick Google image search for "garden gnome" and "gartenzwerg" shows that both types are quite common. But they originally didn't necessarily have the hats common today. These are the oldest surviving garden gnomes according to [1]:

the first smurf drawings had pointy hats, the curve is most likely a stylistic evolution.

#40Fun random fact, the tool used to animate the smurfs hats in 3 out of 4 CG smurfs films, was actually created for Doctor Manhattan’s junk for the original Watchmen film.
Yeah right.
