Panel 1:
Man with flame-like orange hair (to a large robot): DO YOU THINK... WHEN THE AI SUPERINTELLIGENCE TAKES OVER THERE'LL STILL BE USE FOR US CODERS?

Panel 3:
Caption: LATER, AT THE HUMAN ZOO...
A fenced enclosure where humans sit at desks with computers. A banner on the fence reads: CODER-TOWN. A coffee box sits in the middle.
Panel 4:
A child robot (pointing): LOOK AT THAT ONE, MOMMY! IT'S TRYING TO FIX SYNTAX ERRORS IT CREATED ITSELF!
Parent robot: SOOOOO CUTE! THROW IT A HANDFUL OF CORN.
(A small human sits inside the enclosure behind the fence.)
Votey:
A rough hand-drawn sketch of a human figure happily reaching/jumping. Speech bubble: CORN!

A four-panel SMBC comic. Panel 1: An orange-haired man asks a large robot, 'Do you think... when the AI superintelligence takes over there'll still be use for us coders?' Panel 2: The robot replies, 'Absolutely! There are things humans do that robots simply can't.' Panel 3: Caption reads 'Later, at the human zoo...' showing a fenced enclosure where humans sit at computer desks under trees, with a coffee box and a banner labeled 'CODER-TOWN.' Panel 4: A small robot child points at a human in the enclosure and tells its robot parent, 'Look at that one, Mommy! It's trying to fix syntax errors it created itself!' The parent robot says, 'Soooo cute! Throw it a handful of corn.' The joke: the robot's reassurance that humans are still useful turns out to mean keeping coders as cute zoo animals. Votey: a crude sketch of a delighted human figure jumping, shouting 'Corn!'
