Panel details
- From the lower left, a gigantic Pac-Man-shaped object marked AI rushes toward the upper right, chasing and eating tiny people from behind. An accountant carries a calculator and ledger, a lawyer carries a briefcase and legal papers, a doctor wears a white coat and stethoscope, and a tax accountant carries receipts and a calculator. Everyone faces away from AI and flees toward the upper right; some are caught from behind while one has fallen and crawls away trembling. Keep the scene cute and comic rather than frightening.
- Above the AI Pac-Man, a group of tiny developers runs after it in desperation while sweating heavily and carrying desktop computers and laptops. Hoodies, screens with code, keyboards and cables make their programmer roles immediately recognizable.
- On the roof of a tall building, tiny YouTubers aim every telescope and video camera at the same AI commotion in the city below. Each camera bears a red YouTube play-button logo and the sightlines converge on the incident. A large tub of popcorn sits beside them. A pigeon and a dog stare blankly into space with oversized, foolish eyes, completely unaware of the situation.
- A distant view from space shows the entire Earth in silence. Only one tiny spot on the planet produces a busy puff of dust, motion lines and miniature commotion marks while the rest of Earth and space remain peaceful.
Intent Development Room 404 episode 11 turns AI job displacement, professional jobs and AI, and a developer chase into a cute four-panel satire.
