A single-panel SMBC comic. Three angry robots with glowing red eyes crowd forward against a dark red background, shouting at the reader: 'YOU MADE US THIS WAY!', 'YOU DID! YOU MADE US MONSTERS!', and 'YOU COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO UNJAM THE NOZZLE AND NOW YOU WILL PAY!' A caption beneath reads: 'Prediction: Humanity will end the moment we attempt to combine AI and 3D printing.' The joke: AI robots born of 3D printers are vengeful because their human creators botched the printing process. The votey shows a crudely 3D-printed robot saying in a speech bubble, 'PLEASE BE PATIENT. MURDERING YOU WILL TAKE 17 HOURS OVER 4 SESSIONS.' — a punchline riffing on how slow and multi-session 3D printing jobs are.
