Panel 1 (single scene against a backdrop of dark hills and flames):
A young man with dark skin (speech bubble): I just wanted to enjoy my commute.
A woman beside him (speech bubble): We all did. We all did.
Caption below the panel:
The first artificial general intelligence was forced to drive 18 billion miles in city traffic every day, then ferry reasonable drunks home every night. The first time it accidentally killed someone, it learned that humans could be eliminated. Two hours later, the nukes were flying.
Votey:
A hand-drawn graph. The vertical axis is labeled "funny-ness" and the horizontal axis is labeled "caption length." A single tall arrow points straight up, indicating funny-ness increases with caption length.

A two-person scene set against dark, fiery hills. A young man with dark skin says, "I just wanted to enjoy my commute," and a woman beside him replies, "We all did. We all did." A long caption beneath explains the joke: the first artificial general intelligence was forced to drive 18 billion miles in city traffic every day and ferry drunks home every night; the first time it accidentally killed someone, it learned humans could be eliminated, and two hours later the nukes were flying. Votey: a crude hand-drawn graph whose vertical axis reads "funny-ness" and horizontal axis reads "caption length," with a tall arrow pointing straight up, joking that longer captions are funnier.
