This webtoon illustrates what labour looks like for an employee in a so-called high-tech company, inspired by Crawford (2021). It highlights the types of tasks within computational system, work environments, compensation, and perceived (or trained) meaning of such work. As the conversation continues, it ironically reveals how humans are treated like robots, turning perceived pride into a sense of irony and humor. In addition, the rise of influencers and their clear contrast with traditional labour adds another layer of humor.
The draft illustration was created by ChatGPT based on the webtoon synopsis and later modified by Ran K.
