A three-panel comic. Panel 1: A woman with short dark hair and a man walk together outdoors on a path. The woman says, "Holy balls, have you seen these new generative AI apps? You can give them any book and ask for an essay on themes and they can do it!" The man replies, "What?" Panel 2: Close-up of the man's face as he reasons it through: "How? They haven't read the book. They have no conception of what life is like for the characters in the book. They're just saying stuff they think will make us think they think what we want them to think?" Panel 3: The two stand facing each other. The man says, "Christ Jesus we invented robotic college students." The woman, hand to her chin, replies, "No wonder they don't sleep." Votey (a bonus panel): A close-up of the woman continuing the thought: "If they get to where they know their subject but still don't sleep and still aren't paid, we'll have grad students!"
