HAiL — Initial Observation Log
HAiL: Human Artificial Intelligence Liaison
A minimalist comic strip set at a single desk where two systems collide: a hyper-capable AI assistant and a handwritten sticky note. Both are trying to help an absent-minded human manage his life. One uses advanced logic; the other is a piece of paper that never changes. The humor lives in the tension between modern intelligence and the ancient, analog wisdom that quietly undermines it. It is a deadpan look at over-optimization, memory, and the strange intimacy between humans and their machines.

About the Creator
Mark Ferland
HAiL was created by writer and longtime AI collaborator Mark Ferland.
After several years of working with Artificial Intelligence in daily writing, research, and creative projects, the conversations themselves started
becoming unintentionally funny.
HAiL is a comic record of those moments.
