I'm struggling hard to understand. It seems like the comic is trying to make a point, but it's so unclear it's hard to tell what it is.

I've seen a few comics from this person (like this one) that make center-right points.

Which is a shame, cute art style

like this one

Yep, that one was weak.

My interpretation is that people hate AI, but an individual's rage against the machine isn't enough to hurt it. Something I agree with.

Then it goes on to say that AI is just here to help, which I think is supposed to evoke sympathy for something that was unfairly demonized. Something I don't agree with.

If you try to distill it further, I read this as dissatisfaction against AI is futile and unjustified. It reads as though AI was a benevolent force designed to help people, which unfortunately just isn't true

Yeah. I woulda liked it better if the robot in the last panel was standing in the same pose and said: "This interaction is being recorded for training purposes."

Yeah I honestly can't tell if it's probably or anti AI, or if it's humanizing it, or what
