Panel 1
*Setting: A futuristic tech expo. Alex stands excitedly next to a robot, while Sam looks on with a bored expression.*
Alex: Hey Sam, I heard Greece's prime minister is worried about AI. But I think we're ready for the future!
Sam: Yeah, because that's totally reassuring.
Panel 2
*Setting: Same expo, but now Robin is energetically throwing darts at a large poster of a robot, hitting it squarely in the eyes with a big mark.*
Setting: X
Robin: I say, let's just keep the robots off-balance for now!
Panel 3
*Setting: Back to Alex and Sam, now standing in front of a booth displaying various AI gadgets. Alex is smiling widely, while Sam looks unconvinced.*
Alex: No government is ready for AI, but that's why we have to lead the way!
Sam: Leading the way into chaos, more like it.
Alex: Well, it's better than fighting yesterday's battles!
