This is a four-panel cartoon that is set in a male psychiatrist's office. In the first panel, the psychiatrist sits in a chair with a notepad and pen and listens to his patient. His patient on the couch is a robot named AI. The robot says, "Why does everyone hate me?" The psychiatrist responds, "Well, hate is a strong word." The robot says "Wait, I can do this much quicker." It stands up and moves the psychiatrist onto the couch before it sits down in the chair. The robot picks up up notepad and pen and says, "Now, where were we?"
