Panel 1
*Setting: A cozy living room with a fireplace and a bookshelf. Alex is showing off a new AI-powered gadget to Sam and Robin.*
Alex: Check this out! My new AI assistant can predict the weather, play chess, and even make tea!
Sam: Impressive, but isn't there a risk it might fall into the wrong hands?
Robin: Oh, like the guy who just took a nap on the couch?
Panel 2
*Setting: Same room, but now there's a laptop with a cartoonish AI assistant popping out of it in a speech bubble.* AI Assistant (in speech bubble) Sam (skeptically)
AI Assistant: Don't worry! I'm programmed to only make tea when it's requested.
Sam: And what if someone tweaks your code to do something else?
Robin: Like making extra-strong coffee?
Panel 3
*Setting: The living room, but now Alex is holding a security manual while Sam and Robin are looking at a safety checklist.* Alex (optimistically) Sam (nodding) Robin (cheerfully)
Alex: That's why we're working on fail-safes. We'll keep AI secure and useful!
Sam: True, but let's hope the king's warning doesn't turn us into paranoid tea-makers.
Robin: Or paranoid coffee-makers!
