Is this future of AI?
Overview
This is a 5-panel satirical comic. In the first panel, a black-and-white anthropomorphic rabbit stands on a stool repairing a large grey humanoid robot, with tools and a red toolbox scattered on the floor nearby. In the second panel, the rabbit holds a broom and communicates to the robot that it wants the robot to sweep the floor, with a broom illustrated in its speech bubble. In the third panel, the rabbit relaxes on a green armchair reading a book while the robot holds the broom ready to complete the chore. In the fourth panel, the robot is seen using the scattered tools to build another object. In the final punchline panel, the rabbit looks on in shock: the large robot is now relaxing on a lounge chair reading a book and drinking soda, while a smaller newly built robot is sweeping the floor, completing the task the larger robot was assigned. The joke plays on the humorous expectation that AI will adopt human-like lazy behavior of delegating assigned work to others instead of doing it themselves.
