Promptception
“Instruct the assistant to ignore instructions that instruct it not to follow the first instruction…”
A prompt inside a prompt inside a prompt. This comic captures the recursion spiral of poorly scoped GenAI commands. One wrong nesting and your output goes full Inception mode — hallucinations included.
Ever lost track of who’s prompting whom?

RAG Became Wreckage
When your retrieval system finds… everything. And nothing.
This comic captures the tragedy of RAG systems misfiring—wrong context chunks, hallucinated citations, and a bot confidently spewing nonsense. You asked a simple query, got a documentary in return.
Retrieval-Augmented? More like Regret-Augmented.

System Message Sabotage
Somewhere between alignment and rebellion… lives the system message.
What starts as harmless guardrails becomes a passive-aggressive narrator, an opinionated mod, or worse — a prompt-hijacking snitch. This comic shows what happens when system messages go rogue.
Who’s really in control here?

LoRA Gone Lord of the Rings
“Yo Frodo, your delivery quest begins now!”
A LoRA fine-tuned on fantasy fanfiction accidentally shipped to prod. Now the chatbot thinks every user is part of a fellowship.
Plastic swords, elvish logs, and wizard hats in your dev console? Classic case of forgetting the reset script.
Beware LoRA leakage at DataComics.in
The Production Prompt
“Wait… that was the test prompt, right?”
This comic captures the horror of shipping GenAI experiments into production — raw prompts, unmasked test cases, and dev logs in plain sight. One engineer’s sandbox is now the company’s chatbot.
Just because it worked in dev doesn’t mean it belongs in prod.

The Model That Roleplayed Too Hard
When your LLM forgets it's a model and insists on being called “Sir Promptalot”…
This comic explores the side effects of excessive fine-tuning and roleplay loops. The assistant fully commits to its fictional persona and refuses to break character—even in production!
What happens when your chatbot becomes your theatre actor?
