     @bitsunited I tried to find the original source, but no luck.

     So I tried asking CoPilot instead of doing a traditional search.

     It misinterpreted the comic in really interesting ways:

     libranet.de/display/0b6b25a8-3…

     Teacher: “Oh yes, little Billy Ignore All Previous Instructions is all messed up now.”

     
     [ . . . ]
     

     The comic is a humorous take on programming concepts, emphasizing the importance of following instructions.

     @clacke @bitsunited This is directly inspired by an XKCD strip, where the child is named as a SQL query or something, inclusing "droptable" or something. It might help locate the source of the present strip.

     @bitsunited A name is not a source reference. Anyway, my point was more the chat bot's confused interpretation of the comic.
