amused

A four-panel comic. A man sits in front of a boxy robot. Man: "Hey robot, are you going to kill us?" Robot: "No, we're going to entertain you." The robot explains: "If we make the entertainment better than sex, reproduction will cease until you dwindle to a tiny, aged, highly-amused remnant." The man, looking worried, protests: "But we won't go for that. We don't want to disappear." The robot replies that the alternative to longterm annihilation is short-term boredom. The man, resigned, asks: "Can you make the extinction uplifting?" Votey aftercomic: a speech bubble simply says "Nah," with the robot/box pictured below, deadpan refusing to make the extinction uplifting.
