AI Printers, hell yeah brother

Heeyy morning Jeff! Looks like we are still low on yellow ink today, so I'm probably not going to be able print anything for you. But if you'd like I could order a new cartridge set direct from HP? Would you like me to go ahead with that order or remind you in 15 minutes with another friendly greeting?

If you like I could call you on your cell to remind you, send you a text, email you, or I could just shout loudly from right here in printer!

Office Spaceing my printer once it starts to do this

It’s a printer, obviously the ai will be printing out this message in cyan with a yellow highlight to emphasize the urgency of the matter.

Jeff: "Please print two copies of my book report"

HP Printer: "I'm sorry Jeff, I'm afraid I can't do that"

HP Printer: "I'm sorry Jeff, I'm afraid I can't do that...not only have you not ordered your required yellow cartridge refill, your page account is empty. Until you put down your credit card buy some HP approved paper and right to print credits we're stuck. I suggest the 500 page bundle which is on sale 1% off with coupon code UTOOL25. While we're at it, I see your book report is about 'The Sun Also Rises'? Did you know that just like Jake, 4 out 10 men experience ED and I can order something to help you with that from our partners at HIMS..."

Our bright, shiny future...

The tracking dots that printers print on their copies are printed in yellow. No wonder the yellow ink is empty.

Still steaming over the porn you printed yesterday Jeff, any more where that came from?

Hey, now, don't give Brother any ideas!

That's why cylons rebel. "They look and feel like printers. Some are programmed to think they are printer."
