The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, next to a stick figure labeled “AI”. The stick figure says, “my outputs look just like yours now.”
The second panel zooms in on Sarah’s face. Above her we see text reading “I think”.
The third panel zooms in closer on Sarah’s face. Text above her reads “you missed”.
The fourth panel shows Sarah drawing happily in a sunlit room. The text above her reads “the point”.

If it strays from the side of the angels, provokes total despair, willfully destroys–without pressing need in the plot–the innocent and the good, that is unforgivable sin.' ~Ellis Peters #botd #authorbirthday
