It has nothing to do with AI, I see it as highlighting the irony in the “pull yourself up by the bootstraps”/grind set mentality. They’re stuck in a situation where their options and capabilities are limited, and rather than suggesting something realistic or achievable they’re being recommended things that are impossible to do while stranded at sea.
You could possibly make some “let them eat cake” type allegory as well.
Unfortunately, this is the kind of advice that regular people used to give unemployed folks before LLMs were in use. But you’re on track in that it’s making fun of that bad advice.

I feel like I should understand this comic, but I don’t. Is it that LLMs all give the same advice to unemployed people or something?
