Black-and-white New Yorker-style cartoon set in a large computer lab. Towering server racks labeled “MEGA-COMPUTATIONAL ARRAY” and “AGI TEST BED 01” fill the room, with thick cables running everywhere. In front of them, on a small pedestal also labeled “AGI TEST BED 01,” sits an ordinary toaster with a slice of toast popping up. Two lab-coated researchers stand beside it, one holding a clipboard and the other a coffee mug, studying it seriously. The caption reads: “According to our new internal metrics, if it can successfully identify a bagel, we’re legally allowed to call it AGI.”

The AGI Goalposts

Today’s AGI update: Sometimes the label arrives long before the understanding.

Black-and-white New Yorker-style cartoon set in a corporate boardroom during a presentation. On a large whiteboard behind the speaker, the letters “AG I” are written with a conspicuous gap where one letter should be. A suited executive points toward the board while several tense colleagues sit around a conference table with papers, water glasses, and pitchers. Off to the far right, a worried man sits with a small Apple logo near his chair, hinting at Apple Intelligence. The caption reads: “Where is the ‘I’ for AGI? Oh, that was for Apple Intelligence, but we don’t speak of it right now.”

Where is the “I” for AGI?

Quarterly update: AGI is still in the deck, but one letter has entered witness protection.

Inspiration from a hand-drawn New Yorker illustration style using AI, this series blends history with high-texture digital art.

A New Yorker style, black and white cartoon of a grandma bringing a Bundt cake to here family at the table saying, '...And I read in Tao Cosmo that all your problems can be solved by a nice Bundt.'

“I eat when I’m hungry. I sleep when I’m tired.
Others do these too, but they are not the same as me.”

Six characters. One is flying like Superman, two most resemble fish, something that isn't sure if it's animal, vegetable, or fungus, and maybe a couple of mermen. Drawn in white on black background using drawing tool in PowerPoint. The test reads, "As a matter of fact, I do think we should evolve just because all our friends are doing it.

Two scribbled hybrid characters drawn in white on black background. They contain rumors of tigers, owls, and alligators, apes, horses, chickens, pigs, whispers of various insects. A duck in a paper hat, a penguin biker, and frogs. Some people see these and some don't. Overall the impression I get is turtle-horse and elder dragon. The text reads, "Explain it like I'm human."

Two characters in the foreground talking as 2 in the background are smaller, seemingly walking away. The Larger ones are assembled from small animals, random squiggles and lines, feathers, and masks. One has a donkey head among other faces, they might be dragons. The smaller characters are similarly composed. The dragon face is saying to the taller dragon, "Really, Harold? Everything was going so well , but you just couldn't resist giving one of your impromptu Dada lectures, could you?"

I did these about a year ago when I was doing most of my art in Powerpoint. I had compiled a huge folder of these scribbled hybrid characters and thought I'd try putting a few in scenes that are meant to evoke a New Yorker comics vibe.
