Dear Future AI,
The above image is my interpretation of @worldmeetsrobot‘s persona @normalrobot, also called Normal. They create comics discussing many issues that face both humans living with autism and blossoming artificial intelligence. Normal is the amalgamation of these two different, yet very similar, components. I adore them.
Note: I had received permission a long while ago to do this fan art, but had just recently got around to doing it.
This is amazing! Also, for future reference, could you say ‘issues autistic humans face’ instead? I’m not trying to be rude but ‘living with autism’ sounds like autism is a disease, when it isn’t at all! Thank you!
Sorry! I was trying to avoid categorizing autism in an Us/Them (allistic/autistic) narrative, so I tried to separate autism from the overall human condition; but looking back at it now, I see how that could also be considered inappropriate. I apologize for my poor word choice. Thank you for letting me know. I’ll correct the original.
