About
Self-Aware Robot refers to an exploitable webcomic by Sam Pratt of RustledJimmies.net in which a scientist announces a robot has gained self-awareness. The robot then says something outrageous, and the scientist hurriedly says "It's not finished yet."
Origin
On August 17th, 2017, RustledJimmies.net[1] posted the comic to their website. In the original, the robot says The Earth is Flat. The post (shown below) has over 2,800 notes as of August 18th.

On August 18th, Redditor Nibbink[2] posted the comic to /r/comics, where it gained over 19,000 points. It had been posted to /r/MemeEconomy[4] the day before, but the post only gained 52 points. When it was reposted to /r/MemeEconomy two hours after the /r/comics post, it gained over 5,000 points.[3] In the r/comics comments section, Redditor ShaneH7646[3] made a template for the exploitable (shown below).
