2020s Dilbert: A robot indignantly asks "did you just assume my gender?" after having a "wokeness chip" installed [1].
I expect that within another decade he'll go full Mallard Fillmore and just have Dilbert's head in the corner with the rest of the comic being a giant speech bubble filled with a barely-coherent rant against people who only exist in his imagination.
