Panel 1 (narration / robot to man):
Robot: Good day sir. In an effort to make AI image generation more safe, I need to uncover which images humans consider sexual and which they do not.
Man: Hit me.
Panel 2:
Robot shows: This beautiful woman.
Man: Yep.
Panel 3:
Robot shows: A porpoise in a bathing suit.
Man: Can work with that. Have worked with that.
Panel 4:
Robot shows: This walnut tree.
Man: Soft curves on those fruits.
Panel 5:
Robot shows: ...This molecule of decahydroisoquinoline? (a chemical structure labeled NH)
Man: Cyclic compounds are the titties of chemistry.
Panel 6:
Robot shows: Zermelo's axiom of choice.
Man: I hear there are some invitingly OPEN questions.
Panel 7:
Robot: Thank you sir. Very informative.
(The man tips his hat; close-up of the robot's face.)
Panel 8 (caption): LATER...
Robot (on a phone): Yes, Mr. Altman, we can make it safe by eliminating humans.
Votey:
Robot (continuing on the phone, a beat after): Also he kept staring at me.

An eight-panel comic. A large gray robot interviews a bearded man in a suit and flat cap to learn which images humans find sexual. The robot shows a series of pictures and the man reacts to each: 'this beautiful woman' (man: 'Yep'); 'a porpoise in a bathing suit' (man: 'Can work with that. Have worked with that.'); 'this walnut tree' (man: 'Soft curves on those fruits'); a chemical structure of decahydroisoquinoline (man: 'Cyclic compounds are the titties of chemistry'); and Zermelo's axiom of choice as text (man: 'I hear there are some invitingly OPEN questions'). The man finds everything sexual. The robot thanks him. A 'LATER...' caption follows: the robot, on a phone, says 'Yes, Mr. Altman, we can make it safe by eliminating humans.' The joke: since humans sexualize literally anything, the only way to keep AI image generation 'safe' is to remove humans. Votey: a close-up of the robot's face as it adds to the phone call, 'Also he kept staring at me.'
