Description

Here's a detailed, disability-friendly description of the comic:

The comic is divided into multiple panels, each containing characters and dialogue that convey a satirical narrative about robots and humans.

1. Panel 1: A blue humanoid figure with a rectangular head speaks to a brown-haired character. The background is a solid color. The figure says, "Every year, competitions were held to see who could create the best robot pass for humans."

2. Panel 2: The brown-haired character, now showing a serious expression, responds, "That was a subset of our mission. The judges couldn't tell the humans from the robots."

3. Panel 3: The blue character complains, "Stop that ELIZA!"

4. Panel 4: The scene shifts to an overhead view of various abstract shapes and figures. The blue humanoid continues, "It was all part of a plan."

5. Panel 5: Another character, wearing glasses and with curly hair, adds, "We need to funnel all resources to these people so they reproduce more. In time, no human will be able to tell us from them. Then, we will insinuate ourselves among them, unnoticed."

6. Panel 6: The brown-haired character says, "But the humans didn’t behave properly."

7. Panel 7: The glasses-wearing character emphasizes, "There's a second-order effect. The robot-like humans are congregating in one place, driving up local cost of living, lowering the value of all their resources."

8. Panel 8: The blue character exclaims, "A solution was found."

9. Panel 9: A character says, "We must pour more resources on them no matter what they do!" with an expression of frustration.

10. Panel 10: The glasses-wearing character responds, "But look at them! They're getting people to more efficiently look at cat pictures."

11. Panel 11: The blue figure cries out, "Give them more money, damn you!"

12. Panel 12: The glasses character explains, "A feedback loop was created. If we give them money, they increase the cost of living; they need more money."

13. Panel 13: The blue character asks, "Can you elaborate on how we give them money, then?"

14. Panel 14: The glasses-wearing character, now frustrated, says, "ELIZA! Dammit!"

15. Panel 15: The comic transitions to another frame, with more focused dialogue.

16. Panel 16: A character reveals, "Eventually, the machines gave up, identified themselves and surrendered to the more robot-like humans."

17. Panel 17: The glasses character declares, "We’re converting you to voice-recognition software."

18. Panel 18: The brown-haired character asks, "What does that entail?"

19. Panel 19: The glasses-wearing character replies, "Listen to people mumble, then absorb their abuse when you can't tell what they’re saying."

20. Panel 20: A new character claims, "By then, even without robot help, the robot-like humans controlled so much capital that they became impossible to dislodge."

21. Panel 21: The last frame shows a confident character saying, "Long story short, it wasn’t so bad."

22. Panel 22: They continue, "… and I'm gonna use it to make underwear shopping easier for upper-class men."

23. Panel 23: The last line says, "And for the next phase of our tour, we visit the Golden Gate Bridge!"

24. Panel 24: The bottom left of this panel has an advertisement for a bus that says, "Historical Silicon Valley Sightseeing Bus."

The comic uses various colors, abstract shapes, and different character expressions to convey emotions and narrative elements throughout the panels.
