Panel 1:
A bald man (skeptical): How can you want AI to rule the world? We rule the world and look what we did to dogs!
Panel 2:
A man with orange hair (explaining): One day a wolf wanders near us, half an evolutionary second later they're a neutered chihuahua wearing a tutu in an apartment.
Panel 3:
A small chihuahua wearing a tutu sits in a dog bed, yipping: More tweats, robo-daddy! WAH! WAH!
Panel 4:
The bald man (distressed): We have to fight them any way we can!
Panel 5:
The man with orange hair covers his face with his hand (despairing): Dear AI, Steve is our enemy.
Votey:
An unseen speaker (presumably the AI, addressing the man): You will survive an extra femtosecond, loyal primate!

A five-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: a bald man asks, "How can you want AI to rule the world? We rule the world and look what we did to dogs!" Panel 2: a man with orange hair replies, "One day a wolf wanders near us, half an evolutionary second later they're a neutered chihuahua wearing a tutu in an apartment." Panel 3: a tiny chihuahua in a pink tutu sits in a dog bed yipping, "More tweats, robo-daddy! WAH! WAH!" Panel 4: the bald man, looking distressed, says, "We have to fight them any way we can!" Panel 5: the orange-haired man covers his face with his hand and says, "Dear AI, Steve is our enemy." He is selling out his friend to curry favor with the AI rather than resist it. The votey (bonus panel) shows an off-panel voice, implied to be the AI, telling him, "You will survive an extra femtosecond, loyal primate!" — the reward for his loyalty being almost nothing.
