A six-panel SMBC comic. As a woman and a bearded man walk through tall grass, a bald man in a blue shirt and yellow tie answers her question about whether AI will make life better: 'Already has.' He explains he programmed a brain scanner so he can use his tie as a third appendage, and invites her to watch him eat spaghetti without his hands. Indoors, an extreme close-up shows his tie coiled around a fork, lifting spaghetti to his open mouth. As he stares at the woman with spaghetti smeared on his face, she says 'Please stop making eye contact,' and he replies 'Futuuurrre.' Votey: a close-up of the smiling bald man, his tie reaching toward the viewer, saying 'You want some.?'
