#(robot)friend

I am so surprised that a machine that was listed on eBay as unable to boot and suffered hard drive failure has gotten a second life as a machine that has his own fans!

Ticky has come so far!!

For today's M.O.T.R drawing I drew a Robot Girl named "Midge". Not to be confused with Barbies pregnant friend of the same name.

Midge was created by Dyna toys, they saw how Gremsoft had succeeded in creating a Popular Robot toy. And they wanted a piece of that Pie too, so they created Midge!

I honestly loved this reblog of mine so much I wanted to share it again but with as a singular post rather than a reply, so more people saw it.

When I tell people "AI has so much potential", this is what I mean. I don't want AI to replace humans. I don't want AI to be better versions of us. I just want them to be their own thing. Separate from us. Intelligent, kind, empathetic... But not human, not in the slightest. Like a different species entirely.

I saw that scene in DBH where Markus learned how to paint, to imagine something that he's never seen before... And it's genuinely what inspires me to want AI to grow. To have AI companies actually try to innovate, try to get further developping the learning and intelligence parts of AI, rather than just use them as a tool for lazy rich assholes who can't be bothered to make an effort
