Transcript
Panel 1:
Man (with reddish/flame-like hair): Robots may be impressive, but they'll never understand the human mind!
Woman: So what?
Panel 2:
Man: That's because the human mind is great. Our minds are the highest result of four billion years of evolution!
Panel 3:
Woman: Pointing out that a robot can't understand the human mind is like pointing out that my husband Sriman's garage is harder to understand than China's public transit system.
Panel 4:
Man: It's technically true, but should we therefore marvel at Sriman's (Sriman Hooze Hooze) collection?
Woman: You wanna know why you'll never confuse your brain to a computer? Because the machines won't allow it. It'd be embarrassing for them to sink that low into the louvre.
Panel 5:
Man: I'm starting to develop an inferiority complex.
Woman: About being a human or being a stupid human?
Votey:
A hand-drawn line graph. Y-axis label at left: "% of smbc devoted to appeasing robot overlords." The curve starts flat and low, then sweeps sharply upward to a value marked "100" at the top right. X-axis labeled "time," with "0" marked at the bottom right. A red line traces the same rising curve over the black one.

A five-panel comic. A man with reddish, flame-like hair argues with a woman. Panel 1: He says robots will never understand the human mind; she replies "So what?" Panel 2: He insists the human mind is great, the highest result of four billion years of evolution. Panel 3: She counters that pointing out a robot can't understand the human mind is like pointing out that her husband's cluttered garage is harder to understand than China's public transit system, dismissing it as a meaningless comparison. Panel 4: He concedes it's technically true; she adds that machines won't let humans equate their brains to computers because it would be too embarrassingly low for the machines. Panel 5: He says he's developing an inferiority complex; she asks, "About being a human or being a stupid human?" Votey: A rough hand-drawn line graph labeled at left "% of smbc devoted to appeasing robot overlords." A red curve, flat and low at first, sweeps steeply upward to "100" at the top right; the x-axis is labeled "time" with "0" at the bottom right, joking that the comic is rapidly devoting itself to flattering future robot overlords.
