Viral AI comic flips roles: robots keep a human "mathematician" as a cute pet

A two-panel AI comic making the rounds flips the human-AI relationship: in the future, two robots peer curiously at a human hunched over papers at a desk. One explains, "It's a mathematician! It 'helps' me simplify proofs," while the other coos, "Adorable!"
With a blackboard full of differential geometry and functional analysis formulas in the background, the joke lands as researcher self-deprecation: are we using AI to do math, or are we the pets AI keeps around to do math for them?
