Panel 1:
Woman with orange hair (to a man with blue-green hair and round glasses): You ever wish you could travel back in time and tell that one art school to just accept Hitler?

Panel 2:
Woman: Like, I know he's not the best, but just take him. This guy is gonna get a huge amount of power and he's gonna be filled with anger at the whole world. Just tell him his little house paintings are pretty.

Panel 3:
Man: I mean sure, but you can't time travel so who cares?

Panel 4:
Woman: I'm saying maybe we should try to like AI-generated art before AI gets power.
Man: Hooooo-ly shit.

Votey:
An off-panel voice (continuing the speech-bubble style from the comic): First rule of AI: No toothbrush moustaches.

A four-panel SMBC comic. Two people stand together: a woman with orange hair in a red top, and a man with blue-green hair and round glasses in a yellow shirt.

Panel 1: The woman says, "You ever wish you could travel back in time and tell that one art school to just accept Hitler?" The man looks at her, startled.

Panel 2: The woman gestures while explaining: "Like, I know he's not the best, but just take him. This guy is gonna get a huge amount of power and he's gonna be filled with anger at the whole world. Just tell him his little house paintings are pretty."

Panel 3: In profile, the man replies skeptically, "I mean sure, but you can't time travel so who cares?"

Panel 4: The woman delivers the punchline: "I'm saying maybe we should try to like AI-generated art before AI gets power." The man, eyes wide, responds, "Hooooo-ly shit" — realizing she's drawing a parallel between rejected-artist Hitler and rejected AI art, suggesting we flatter AI now to avoid an angry future AI.

Votey (bonus panel): An empty panel with just a speech bubble from an off-screen speaker reading, "First rule of AI: No toothbrush moustaches."
