Simple solution

@VANTABlack2000 Thank you. Yes, I have to find a name for the young small elf blond; her codename in my sketchbook is Free-ren or FreeLibre-ren , a pun about a free libre derivation of the Frieren proprietary character.
For the Gothic Sorceress, her codename is Cepper. For "Cepper&Parrot" an anagram for "Pepper&Carrot".So, as you can see, nothing serious.
@davidrevoy Ah nice. I like seeing Free-ren as a reoccuring character. It makes a nice story between Cepper finding her using Avian Intelligence for lessons and then being in a No-AI Club with her.

Oooh, can I suggest one where the parrots all talk to each other in a line, and each time they pass it on it gets more and more garbled as they are "learning" from each other and it degenerates into informational goo.
@doctormo @fell That's indeed a good idea Martin! The 'training on training' is a theme I haven't explored yet, and using the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_game as a metaphor can work. I just need a good punch line or end twist.
Someone suggested also a blue type of Parrot cannibal directly eating the speechbubbles of red Parrot and having after issues to speak. I have it on my note, but it was also hard to find a good end twist or punch line to transform the mechanic into something to laugh about. -
@NeroBurner Thank you!
About the teapot moon, it's something from the Pepper&Carrot (my series with longer episodes) "Hereva world" ; and a reference to the Russell's teapot
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell's_teapot
@davidrevoy what a nice reference! This feels SO Discworldy to me. Terry Pratchet would be proud!
is it mentioned in the Pepper&Carrot comics or is it a background oddity there as well?
I thought I read all of P&C comics. But that unfalsifyable teapot slipped my mind
-
@mangeurdenuage A zut, j'ai pas vue le film (mais lu tous les livres), j'imagine que c'est aussi une ref des concept-artist à la théière de Russel.

@davidrevoy Can we have the "Muteo" spell in real life please? 🥺

@NeroBurner Thank you for reading them! And oh yes, Terry Pratchett influence is strong on my work
The master. (Douglas Adams too). The teapot moon appeared the first time on panel 1 of the episode 4 in 2014 https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/webcomic/ep04_Stroke-of-genius.html , and can be seen after here and there (ep30 from the top of my mind).

@voxel @davidrevoy I once said "well tell me again when it's the present." The conversation has then shifted away from AI, miraculously.

@davidrevoy , thank you! That was excellent.
Also, thank you as always for using #altText4Everybody.

@davidrevoy I want that spell

@vampirdaddy @davidrevoy latine est "tace!" (vel "tacete!" pro pluribus)
@mirabilos
tacere, silere: quid est differentia?[edit, added]
Gut feeling:
tacere is more like not-speaking,
silere more like not making any sound?But then again my last serious brush with latin was over 30 years ago.

@davidrevoy
Nice spell

@davidrevoy It was probably difficult to resist casting “power word: sap” on the guy.
-
@davidrevoy I wonder if you could make one about the recent hardware price hikes.
Something like magic ingredients getting more expensive because they are all bought up by whoever makes these birds.
️@fell @davidrevoy Well, the amphora certainly has had a lot of books and arcane material dumped into it…
-
@davidrevoy please please please make it so that the maker of the Avian Intelligence runs away with a huge pot of gold after his giant cauldron explodes and an angry mob chases him for swindling everyone.
That would be the perfect ending to this arc.
-
@davidrevoy I need that for the "leadership" in my work meetings.

@davidrevoy Or perhaps it would be more appropriate if the parrots started talking gibberish and the giant AI pot had all its books turned into a giant letter soup that can't be fixed. That would make it a two-part comic
