Sorry for reblogging a post from years ago but I'm so happy to see people have shared this on Tumblr before because just today I was remembering reading this as a kid when it was reprinted in Uncle Scrooge. I was just thinking, doesn't this comic that originally came out in 2005 resonate so much with struggles regarding AI-generated content today and how it's affecting our lives? The parallels are strong!
Before Donald has Gyro invent the machine to make the writing process effortless, we see Donald refuse to pay a writer:
Accidental plagiarism happens when Donald uses the machine:
So much zero-effort content was generated that nobody wants to read:
This negatively impacts the environment:
Everyone starts sending around machine-generated spam:
Honestly, there's even more that rings true in this comic, props to writer Michael T. Gilbert for having scripted this lol
This Donald Duck comic (“Write Thinking”, from U$366) is the most #relatable thing ever.
So Donald decides he wants to be a writer. He has so many great ideas… if only he could concentrate long enough to get them down on paper!
He decides that just dreaming up story ideas is work enough, and there must be an easier way to get the actual “writing” part done.
When that plan doesn’t work, he goes to Gyro, who has a solution:
What I wouldn’t give for one of those!
But of course isn’t as easy as that. Various hijinks ensue, as Donald discovers that a) even with a magic machine to do the writing for you, it still takes more than a good idea to make a good book and b) none of his own ideas are particularly good or original anyway. Instead he and Gyro start mass-producing the Think-o-Matics and selling them, resulting in everyone in Duckburg producing their own terrible books that no one wants to read.
Gyro eventually upgrades the device to create ebooks instead of physical books, but –
Finally Donald devises the perfect solution:
If only creativity, and satisfaction in one’s work, were that easy…

BHOC: THE SPIRIT #18
As I talked about yesterday, this was the second of two magazine-sized issues of THE SPIRIT that I got for Christmas 1978, ordered out of the Superhero Merchandise catalog. And like yesterday’s issue, this one offered a batch of classic Will Eisner Spirit stories from the long-running Newspaper circular that had run in the Golden Age, along with an assortment of other features and bits. These…
