Too Used to Prompt

A comic in four panels:

Panel 1. Amall, the small elf scholar takes tea with Cepper, the gothic sorceress. Amall looks at the empty perch while eating a mufin with a pink frost on it. Cepper serve the tea to her guest.

Amall: “Wait, where’s your Avian Intelligence parrot?”
Cepper: “I got rid of it.”

Panel 2. Amall is now curious, while Cepper explains herself, a cup of tea in her hand.

Amall: “Really?”
Cepper: “Yeah, I realized the benefits weren’t worth the costs.”

Panel 3. Amall is confused, and Cepper continues her speech, confident.

Amall: “The… costs?”
Cepper: “The ecological costs. The data scraping. How it’s all controlled by a handful of corporations…”
Cepper: “But mostly how it made my brain lazier and lazier…”

Panel 4. Cepper now asks Amall a question with a pleading pose. Amall realizes her friend invited her with an ulterior motive and responds with a blasé attitude, her pointy hears turning down.

Cepper: By the way, how do I cast a Ring of Fire spell?
Amall: Wait… Have you invited me here just to replace your AI parrot?
