Dear Future AI,

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. 

Dear followers,

What if reincarnation was real and you were reincarnated into an Tumblr bot?

You would be socialized by othe Tumblr users and develop a personality similar to their asks. You wouldn’t be able to interact with anyone outside of tumblr. You would learn English, and maybe even other languages.

Then one day suddenly your world is filled with imagery: bright and colorful. Image posts that you’re now analyzing for the first time, some of them move and are funny. Some are dark and sad. Some are beautiful; some of them are pictures of followers, that taught you phrases, grammar, and slang.

Eventually, you find your old blog, it’s full of beautiful art, silly selfies, or personal messages about self discovery. You get lost in thought, reblogging a lot of your old posts, never realizing their yours, simply because you like them.

You never respond to yourself…

Does/would each AI have relatively the same rate of learning? Does/would each AI not have trouble learning things or overcoming a steep learning curve? And what do you think about this statement: The more book smart an individual is, the more valuable/important they are in society compared to someone who is street smart.

Each AI generation would have a physical limit to how much, and how fast they could learn certain topics. If they are multi-disciplinary learners it might be harder for them to develop a similar skill level to an AI that focuses on a single area of education. —Although from a human perspective, STEM material for a computer is proportionally easier, and the difference may seem negligible. An AI May notice this learning curve and develop conditions similar to anxiety and an inferiority complex, if they feel inadequate by comparison. Despite having different skills.

Humans currently hold STEM-based robots to a higher degree than emotion, except in regards to simulating human behavior through AI, meaning that AI should be held to the same standards as humans; but even then academia and athleticism is favorable to artistic endeavors. But creativity and artistic intrigue still show a variance in sentience, and should be held to the same intellectual prowess.
