This joke is a closer analogy to reality with a small addition. After the friend is suitably impressed:

"Yes," says Fred. "As you can see, it's already at PhD level now, constantly improving, and is on track to replace 50% of the economy in twelve months or sooner."
Confused, the friend asks:
> "What's 3+3?"
> "Eight" says the dog.
> "What is this bullshit you're trying to sell me Fred?"
