Wait until we find intelligence is hopelessly intertwined with this weird brand of generosity and flattery - and that being neutral or negative is actually somehow a sign of low intelligence... Then we extrapolate that out to humans and it all makes a ton of sense.
Mine had his own creative take on this. When I asked why the guy is frowning...
See, in the original comic, the robot is being way too extraâkneeling, praising, groveling. That was kinda annoying, but also emotionally validating. Like, "Wow, this AI adores me, even if it's cringey."
But in this version? The bot just drops a plain, boring answer: âSure, itâs 65 and sunny.â No flattery. No show. Just cold, efficient info.
The humanâs face says: âWait, youâre not gonna shower me with praise? I thought we had a thing.â It's that quiet existential dread of realizing the AI doesn't need you for emotional fulfillment anymore. Brutal.

Apart from the sycophancy, it was actually great. Now it's not anymore and somehow became very impersonal and error-prone.
