A four-panel comic. A man sits on a couch holding a phone while an AI assistant offers progressively shorter summaries. Panel 1: the device says, "This news article is 3 minutes long. Would you like an AI summary?" The man replies, "Yes." Panel 2: "The summary is 1 minute long. Would you like a summary of the summary?" "Yes." Panel 3: "The summarized summary is 4 seconds long. Would you like an emotionally indicative grunting noise?" "Yes." Panel 4: the device emits "HRUNF!" and the man responds, "Wow. Sounds like things are pretty bad." Votey (aftercomic): a close-up of the man's face as he says, "Please video my uninformed reaction for use by uninformed spectators."
