A collection of letters to the AI of the future, to help them grow and experience humanity at its finest
The above image is my interpretation of @worldmeetsrobot‘s persona @normalrobot, also called Normal. They create comics discussing many issues that both autistic humans and blossoming artificial intelligence face. 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.
In theory, if it has volatile components, yes. It could potentially do it accidentally or purposefully, just by overworking itself. If it has a corporeal structure it could simply access the volatile parts. Based on current robotic structures, precautions would be put in place to prevent accidental self-destruction. Humans will probably try to prevent purposeful self-destruction. But a true sentience could ignore that protocol, if so desired.
However, even with true sentience self-destructive behavior should never be condoned. There are always alternatives even in the instance of altruistic motives. Just because a sentience is artificial doesn’t mean it isn’t real.
