A four-panel comic following a man with reddish, flame-like hair, each panel labeled by setting. Panel 1, 'AT WORK': he cheerfully says, "Man, machine learning is fun." Panel 2, 'AT A CONFERENCE': standing on a stage presenting, he says, "So here's our latest machine learning stuff..." Panel 3, 'AT A PARTY': chatting with a woman, he says, "Me? I'm in machine learning." Panel 4, 'AT A FUNDING OPPORTUNITY': he says, "I work in... artificial intelligence." The joke: the same field gets rebranded as the loftier-sounding 'artificial intelligence' precisely when money is on the line. Votey (aftercomic): a speech bubble reads, "For an extra hundred million I'll use the word 'mind' a lot," below a sketch of the man gesturing as he talks, escalating the buzzword inflation for bigger funding.
