Le Livre d'Argent

Yesterday's comic was published, but the prank part for 1st April wasn't... (not ready, and too tired to finish it) A bit sad. So, I finished it this morning.

Discover my new online service, Rubber Ducking Avian Intelligence!

@davidrevoy
i see some minor weaknesses in spelling and grammar, but math works fine 🧮 🦆

@Kampfdiestel 🤯 🤯🤯 It's sentient!

Oh no. What I have done!

@davidrevoy Trop mignon <3

@davidrevoy hacked 🤣

@lywyn 🤣 🤣 🤣

@greg Yes, the rubber duck is the ultimate Avian Intelligence 💜

@davidrevoy very useful, the duck was there every time I talked to it 👌

@Anna Thank you for the feedback! With the service overload, I was afraid of interruption of service on day 1. 😆

@davidrevoy

@davidrevoy
OBTW, I suggest linking from the form to the AI comic strip

@zvinj Thank you and good point, I added the link in the footer!

@maiwann @davidrevoy trop fort ! Je lui ai demandé ce que je pouvais préparer pour notre dîner de ce soir et il a tout de suite reconnu mes origines périgourdine

@calaglin @maiwann 😂 lol!

@elzen cute!

@gub Oh yes, so many interesting things about rubber duck, and pictures. The one yesterday I liked, a rubber duck raccing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck#/media/File:Entenrennen_auf_der_Dreisam_in_Freiburg,_Plastikenten_an_der_Leo-Wohleb-Br%C3%BCcke.jpg

@davidrevoy Works perfectly!

@peejmaybe 😆 lol!

@davidrevoy that's cool and ducksome 😄 I tried by found no easter eggs?

@louis None, sad, now I realize I could at least have made a cool array of word detected and variations. #missed_opportunity

@davidrevoy Love it

@Ray_Of_Sunlight 😂

@elzen 🤣

@davidrevoy I love it so much.

I have a domain which is very similar to the university I'm a student at. Could I please have your permission to make a copy of that page and host it on the "ai" subdomain of that fake page?

I'd obviously edit the text at the bottom to credit you and link back to the original page.

Also, no worries if you'd rather not! Then I can do a redirect and it'll still be funny

@LilaHexe Sure, consider it CC 0/Public domain: you have FULL PERMISION.

It's only a index.html file, a screenshot.jpg (for the opengraph preview on social media), and the svg of the duck from clipsafari (cc 0 as well). You'll have no problem downloading the files.
Have fun!

@davidrevoy Hah! StackOverflow once did this for april fools… good times…

@samerion Oh yes, I saw it this week, from the Wikipedia page of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging , chapter "pop culture". I wish I was around to see it live that day!

@davidrevoy it works perfectly

@solarmunk 🤣

@davidrevoy Had a very thought provoking conversation, here's a snippet

@ahimsa_pdx The beauty of a deep conversation about adulthood and the young generation. Such a beautiful ending where each participants stay on their positions, respectfully. 😆

@davidrevoy it's even multilingual, I can ask it what a rubber duck looks like in any language and it understands!

@hvdklauw

@davidrevoy Wait, can that be right?

@linuxandyarn 🤣

@davidrevoy It works! :'3

@The3rdCrow 💜 💜

@davidrevoy whoaaaaa me and a buddy pugzarecute were working on something very similar with a slightly different goal

@sounddrill Nice! Ping me when you publish your result (and if it is public), I'm sure I'll love it!

@davidrevoy @gub Rubber ducks are also doing their bit for science https://saveocean.net/2025/08/10/rubber-ducks-vs-the-pacific-the-accidental-science-experiment-that-wouldnt-die/

@gunchleoc @gub Amazing article! Thank you GunChleoc for sharing!

@davidrevoy @samerion La page en français est pas mal goldée:

"L'avantage du canard en plastique sur un interlocuteur humain est que sa capacité d'écoute et sa patience sont sans limite. Son temps est aussi moins précieux que celui d'un consultant ou d'un collègue".

J'ai pouffé de rire à ce paragraphe.

@davidrevoy Et en plus, d’une exactitude, à faire pâlir Pensée Profonde.

@alex 🤣

@epsi Nice! That made me think about the 1951 cartoon "Duck and Cover" 😆 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_and_cover

@davidrevoy You say April's Fools, but this is one of the more useful websites I have seen this year. The duck always (not) responding with the same is very Zen.

I hope you keep it online.

@dragonfi Thank you, and yes, I'll keep it online, it's just a 10kb single html file, probably 0 future maintenance and easy to host!
You can save the page on your computer, it will runs local easily too.

@davidrevoy This gave me an idea: Would be interesting to create a similar website that just returns a random Tarot card.

@dragonfi Interesting idea. I'll save it in a corner of my brain, maybe one day I'll design my own tarot card illustrations 😊

@davidrevoy This just inspired me to do a thing. I present you: Rubber Duck converstation agent for #HomeAssistant

@tr4nt0r 🦆 Chouette que ça donne des idées!
