Comic #5019: human-jobs
Description
The comic features a series of panels with dialogue and illustrations. Here’s a detailed description of each panel:
Panel 1:
- A character asks, "NOW THAT ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE HAS SURPASSED HUMANS, WHAT WILL WE DO FOR JOBS? HOW WILL I EAT? HOW WILL I HAVE SHELTER?"
- In response, another character, who appears relaxed, says, "RELAX."
- The background shows a building labeled "HUMAN TEMP AGENCY" with a sunset sky.
Panel 2:
- The first character continues, "THERE ARE STILL LOTS OF TASKS FOR WHICH HUMAN BEINGS WILL ALWAYS WANT A FELLOW HUMAN."
- The second character responds, "LIKE FOR COMPASSION OR UNDERSTANDING."
- The first character dismissively says, "NAH. ROBOTS WITH FMRI ANALYSIS ARE WAY BETTER AT THAT."
Panel 3:
- The first character asks, "THEN WHAT?"
- The second character replies, "HERE'S A HOT LEAD FOR YOU."
Panel 4:
- The fourth panel contains an advertisement titled "Human-furniture fetishist seeks new footstool."
- An illustration depicts a bald man with a serious expression next to the text.
The comic humorously addresses the impact of artificial intelligence on human jobs and the unpredictability of future employment.
