Description
Comic Description:
Panel 1:
- Background: Simple lab setting.
- Characters: A woman with dark hair and glasses stands on the left. She has a neutral expression. On the right is a robot with a shiny gray body, a red circular "eye," and mechanical appendages.
- Text (from the woman): "WELL, WE'VE DONE IT. WE'VE CREATED A SUPERIOR INTELLIGENCE. HUMANS ARE OUTMODED, AND WILL BE GONE SOON."
- Text (from the robot): "NO, NO!"
Panel 2:
- Background: Continues in the lab.
- The woman looks more determined, gesturing with her hand.
- Text (from the woman): "IT'S NOT SO, THERE ARE, AND ALWAYS WILL BE, THINGS ONLY A HUMAN MIND CAN DO."
- The robot looks contemplative.
Panel 3:
- Background: A poster advertising an event.
- Text at the top: "SOON…"
- Promotional text reads: "COME SEE THE HUMAN-FIGHTS! TODAY ONLY! ONE OLD MAN VERSUS THREE CHILDREN!"
- A character, possibly another robot, exclaims: "OOOH!"
The comic uses humor to juxtapose the creation of an advanced AI with the absurdity of a fight event.
