Interesting idea but unfortunately the given example comic makes very little sense. It was difficult to parse even as someone who's familiar with these concepts, and I think it will hurt more than help any newbies.

I think this kind of slop has negative value. It's unclear how much of the information in the comic is hallucinated, and the malformed code "for i = i1+|>" and nonsense text "(starts write hooks!" doesn't bode well.

If it’s an addendum then fine. But can’t replace textual review which is much easier to parse, at least for me.

BTW, amazing they chose a review that exemplifies why hooks are a horrible horrible mistake for public API.

Definitely still needs a "human in the loop." I don't know if this particular comic was cherry-picked or if it was the first one generated by Nano-Banana Pro, but either way, it's still got plenty of messy typos.

>> the given example comic makes very little sense.

I thought that was just due to it being about React.
