🤔 WHY DOES THIS EXIST?

Randall Monroe's art is INCREDIBLY BAD. Sometimes the jokes are funny, but their usually just CONFUSING. AI isn't funny enough to fix his jokes, but it can FIX HIS ART.

SOMEBODY had to do SOMETHING about it. Unfortunately, that person is ME...and Nano Banana 2, which is the DA VINCI OF AI.

If you feel as bad for Randall as I do, you would buy one of his books OUT OF PITY.
