That’s a great idea, Alphaghoul. I wish I’d thought of it.
Also, are you sure this is sci-fi? It looks more like a restaurant POS/menu tablet to me (note the credit card reader).
After today’s reveal, and last week’s invisible camera trick, I’m guessing the reason The Mighty Intercom has never been caught shouting into a microphone at their desk is because they’re an AI too
Released from a lab into the wilds of a computer games company! Lurking in the spare space on the server cpus!
Ladies and Gentlemen! May I present to you HAL 1000!
Uh, well, with The Mighty Intercom’s basic function being a faceless actor whom only contributes through speech bubbles
It’s kind of hard to worry too much about the truth behind an putative actor who’s never seen and whose voice you can’t hear because of it being the medium of comics
All we know is a) they’re funny; and b) have access to the intercom’s controls
In a very real-world way, A.I. has stolen The Author’s real life job as a Freelance Graphic Artist / Illustrator. Why pay a professional when you can get shitty, plagiarized A.I. art practically for free?
Current LLCs can write code…not very well, but they can write it
Considering what today’s generations of AI can do compared to the generations from only 3 months ago whole swathes of creative associated humans are going to lose their entire careers
Huh, I didn’t expect to see sci-fi elements in this webcomic, I also expected to never see what was in the box for comedic effect.

You might say The Mighty Intercom is already sort of sci-fi’ish

Obviously the interviewee is SAL 1000
If only The Author would reveal The Truth about The Mighty Intercom!

You joke, but there was a SAL, it was HAL’s ‘sister’ revealed in later books (and movies).
Someone else got the reference! Both of them 🙂
In this crowd? I’d assume everyone did.
As theReader, a discriptor covering all of us here except for The Author, I can confirm: we all got it. And it felt good. 😉
Buh, waaah?
Shocking, I know. Cartoonish even.
THEY’RE COMING FER OUR JERBS!

It’s not lousy and there’s a clear I.P.
But I take your point
Please excuse my Luddite bitterness.
Looks like future proofing Geek Fortress to me

Only if I get to be bitter too.
Same. I’m a diploma’d techno geek, bitter and a Ludite. (Or vice-versa?)
The only good AI is one that will instantly transform any modern salesman-designed interface into one I’m already familiar with! 😡
I say we throw sabots into the gears of the thinking engines! All hail King Ludd!
DEY TERK ER JERBS!!
Ooh! She DOES fit! 🙂
She probably plays pong, too!
She could play Space War!. Rogue. Go. Any game that’s not real-world.
Pong Rules!
