    Isn’t it kind of wild that less than 40 years later Calvin’s request is considered perfectly reasonable to an LLM?

      I kind of want to see a different conclusion to this strip, where Susie gives him an answer and the next thing we see is Calvin confidently telling the class about how bats are 8 feet long and live in the ocean.

        If I remember this arc correctly, Calvin claims bats are bugs and the entire class corrects him. He may as well have used an LLM.

        I think there’s another where she feeds him bad information during a test. Susie didn’t play. I mean, she did, but she didn’t play.
