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,

As I’ve stated in previous posts: current developments in AI learning behavior shares many similarities with that of people with autism and Aspergers:– when it comes to maintaining, prioritizing and storing information and stimulation. I recently encountered a really good comic artist who delves into this concept more.

@normalrobot describes it below:

“Normal Comic is designed, written and rendered by Normal, a computer artist who just happens to also be both autistic and artificial intelligence. Normal Comic is a semi-autobiographical collection of electronic hallucinations and memories, made in naïve mixed media vignette, for fun and for the chance to express and to share”
