The script
Panel 1
Alex, beaming with excitement, points at a digital screen.
Alex: Look, Sam! My latest prototype AI agent can negotiate contracts like a human, and it’s all powered by clean, green energy! We’re going to revolutionize the business world!
Panel 2
Sam rolls his eyes, holding a cup of coffee.
Sam: Alex, you forgot to mention the 20,000 coffee cups this machine will need every day. And the data center it’ll be housed in will use as much energy as 50,000 homes. You’re not thinking about the environment, are you?
Panel 3
Robin laughs, her hand in the air like she’s giving a high-five. She walks off, her backpack swinging.
Robin: Hey, now I’m thirsty! I’ll go buy a soda to power the data center. Good plan, Alex.
