In a version that doesn’t even fully make sense. With databases there is a well-defined way to sanitize your inputs so arbitrary commands can’t be run like in the xkcd comic. But with AI it’s not even clear how to avoid all of these kinds of problems, so the chiding at the end doesn’t really make sense. If anything the person should be saying “I hope you learned not to use AI for this”.
if they make it almost exactly the same and “credit” it in the smallest font possible and didn’t get permission from the original author… i would say that’s definitely a ripoff
quoth wikipedia: “A parody is a creative work designed to imitate, comment on, and/or mock its subject by means of satirical or ironic imitation.” … “The literary theorist Linda Hutcheon said ‘parody … is imitation, not always at the expense of the parodied text.’”
Tell me you don’t know xkcd without saying you don’t know xkcd. These comics are licensed as CC-BY-NC 2.5, which means you are allowed to remix and use them, without explicitly asking for permission, as long as you attribute the original/author (which is given here) and as long as you do it non-commercially (which is given for this post IMHO).
A new ripoff of an old classic

Is it a ripoff if they credit the original?

It’s a parody
How is this a parody? It’s not poking fun at the original or pointing out its flaws.

yeah, and that’s not a parody.
It’s not a parody. It’s a homage
It’s not a homage, it’s just the exact same joke.
But updated for our new hellscape!
it’s not a hoe-midge, it’s an oh-marge
It’s not an oh-marge, it’s ho-mahg-ee.
its not a ho, Marge. Gee, she’s a real person.

the rest of what i said stands… but whooooa you “got me” i didn’t read the license on xkcd
Are you implying that the credit is here? If so, where? I am not seeing it.
Bottom right
Bottom right.
Lower right corner.
I honestly didn’t notice that - it was a bit small and pixelated, good catch
Thanks!:-)
Shocked the title of the original isn’t Little Bobby Tables.
