Knowledge flows like a river, and the fish get copied whole.

<Knowledge Thief 1.1>

Panel details

1. An orange cat with a radiating chest icon fishes beside a river with a fish bucket, while a gray cat watches from far to the right.
2. The gray cat, wearing a red square on its chest, lowers a fishing line into the orange cat's single fish bucket as the orange cat turns to look.
3. The gray cat continues fishing from the orange cat's bucket while many tiny black kittens simultaneously lower rods into the gray cat's separate bucket.
4. In a wide market view, a human vendor whose entire head is a bitten-apple logo shape runs the stall. Black kittens queue in a distant corner, while a rotten fish, bitten fish and jellyfish sit on the counter.

Intent Development Room 404 6 is a cat webtoon using fishing satire to show AI training data being repeatedly reused until its quality deteriorates.
