Your wholesome sleep paralysis demon

I am continuing to read PG. My private life has been a little busy, so I am progressing at quite a slow pace. I like the Mandrake team, so this part is enjoyable to read. As for the Mandrake team in particular, I truly wish I could have seen more of their activities.

As a side note, I often color Bart and Nat’s eyes yellow(gold) or blue, but in reality their eye color is dark. This is a kind of stylized expression, so the characters in the story recognize each other’s eyes as dark. In other words, Nat does not perceive Bart’s eyes as yellow or gold, and Bart does not describe Nat’s eyes as blue. I am simply representing black with yellow(gold) and blue. Especially in Bart’s case, I consistently use yellow(gold) for him in any form, and I try to keep Faquarl consistently purple. By the way, Queezle has light blue and pink pupils. Since the spirits do not have fixed forms, it is something like a stylized identity device that allows viewers to immediately recognize who is who when they look at my fanart, no matter what form they take. I am not sure if I explained it well, but that is the idea.

The Chinese Room experiment is a thought experiment that says if you put a guy in a room with a Chinese-English dictionary and instructions, but he doesn't understand Chinese. He can follow the instructions to produce a result, but he doesn't actually understand what he's saying. This is a fundamental argument against GenAI/LLMs - they don't actually understand what they're saying, they're just following an algorithm that statistically predicts the next word in a sentence, with no understanding of what the words actually mean.

Also Caine says "it's a mystery what's behind that door" which I interpreted to be a jab at the black box way that GenAI consumes and regurgitates things in its algorithm. Not even its creators know what it knows or how it will respond to things.

Hey, I have a prequel proposal.

drawing all these little details was kinda therapeutic idk

also a little speed paint under the cut, I’ve never really done this but I thought it be cool for this one

Everybody, this is Grym! He’s Hopper’s father and a traditionally evil dragon but with some extra razzle-dazzle added 🪩✨
