A single-panel SMBC comic presented as a block of prose written in a terse, Hemingway-esque literary style. The text reads: "He opened the door to her. It was getting dark. She stood there, holding the cardboard box, looking him over. 'You know, I can deliver more than just pizza,' she said. 'It would be a fine thing to do,' he thought. 'A damn fine thing.'" Below the panel, a caption explains the joke: "THE BEST THING ABOUT AI WILL BE GENERATING HEMINGWAY NOVELIZATIONS OF PORNO." The humor is that an AI has rendered a cliche pizza-delivery porn setup as solemn, sparse literary fiction. The votey (aftercomic) adds a handwritten line: "THE PIZZA UNEATEN IS LATER DEVELOPED INTO A METAPHOR FOR LIFE," mocking how literary fiction turns an unremarkable detail into heavy symbolism.
