Panel 1

*Setting: A tech conference, a stage where Jensen Huang is speaking. Alex, Sam, and Robin are in the audience, nodding along attentively.* Robin (whispering to Alex and Sam)

Jensen Huang: AI doesn't need new laws. It's perfectly safe and will change the world for the better.

Robin: So, no new laws, huh? Must be why my AI roommate never nags me about the dishes.

Panel 2

*Setting: A cozy living room. Alex and Robin are seated on a couch, Sam is standing nearby with a laptop open.* Robin (holding a robot vacuum) Sam (deadpan)

Alex: Imagine a world where AI is so safe, we don't even need to worry about it!

Robin: Like, this guy here? He's never missed a spill, not once!

Sam: And yet, my AI vacuum still can't figure out why it's stuck under the couch.

Panel 3

*Setting: A futuristic kitchen. Alex is cooking, Robin is dancing around with a smart fridge, Sam is sitting at the table, looking exasperated.* Robin (excitedly) Sam (sighing) Robin (cheerfully)

Alex: With AI being so safe, we can focus on more important things... like cooking!

Robin: Yeah! My fridge just told me I need more kale!

Sam: Great, now I have to listen to a lecture on why kale is the future of AI.

Robin: And the future is delicious!
