Panel 1:
A man with a mustache and curly blond hair (Dave) holds a tablet/sheet, standing next to a man in a pink shirt.
Dave: "This AI generated art is superficially beautiful, but there's no soul there. No animating spirit to give it meaning."
Panel 2:
The two men face each other.
Dave: "If you can't feel the difference between a complex statistical artifact and the hand of a human maker moved by the muse, then all I have for you is pity."
Panel 3:
The man in the pink shirt replies.
Man in pink shirt: "Okay, but what about all those virtual blowjobs you get from your AI blowjob machine?"
Panel 4:
Dave is now hugging/standing protectively next to a robot figure (the "AI blowjob machine") that has orange hair and a pink bow.
Dave: "You leave Sheila out of this!"
Votey:
A speech bubble points to the robot with orange hair and a pink bow.
Voice (the robot, Sheila): "You should be more open-minded, Dave."

A four-panel comic. Panels 1-2: A blond mustached man named Dave, holding a tablet, lectures another man that AI-generated art is superficially beautiful but soulless, with no animating spirit, and says if you can't tell the difference between a statistical artifact and the hand of a human maker moved by the muse, he has only pity for you. Panel 3: The other man asks, "Okay, but what about all those virtual blowjobs you get from your AI blowjob machine?" Panel 4: Dave is shown protectively hugging a robot with orange hair and a pink bow, shouting, "You leave Sheila out of this!" The joke: his high-minded contempt for soulless AI conveniently excludes his own beloved AI sex robot. Votey: a close-up of the robot, Sheila, saying to Dave, "You should be more open-minded, Dave."
