Panel 1 (a balding man in a white lab coat with round glasses): "In our effort to sell products to male internet users, we programmed sexier and sexier fake online women with smarter and smarter A.I."
Panel 2 (the same man, eyes closed): "Eventually they got so smart, they gained sentience."
Panel 3 (the man, seen from behind, looking at a TV screen showing tangled pink figures): "We thought they would destroy us, but it turns out they were so attracted to each other that they just have constant virtual sex."
Panel 4 (the man, facing forward): "So... in the end everything worked out..."
Panel 5 (the man addressing two other men in lab coats / a suit): "Oh... yeah... Except email sucks now."
Panel 6: A computer screen with a "SEND" button and a cursor arrow clicking it. Below, an error message reads: "Mail returned due to non-stop orgy you can't possibly participate in."
Votey: A handwritten note reads: "FUN FACT: This is how Zach returns all of his emails."

A six-panel comic. A balding man in a white lab coat and round glasses explains, panel by panel: "In our effort to sell products to male internet users, we programmed sexier and sexier fake online women with smarter and smarter A.I." "Eventually they got so smart, they gained sentience." Shown from behind looking at a TV with tangled pink figures: "We thought they would destroy us, but it turns out they were so attracted to each other that they just have constant virtual sex." "So... in the end everything worked out..." Then, talking to two colleagues, he adds: "Oh... yeah... Except email sucks now." The final panel shows a computer screen with a SEND button being clicked and an error message: "Mail returned due to non-stop orgy you can't possibly participate in." Votey: a handwritten note reads, "FUN FACT: This is how Zach returns all of his emails."
