Open source transcript

ROBOTS ARE A CLEVER NOVELTY, BUT THEY WILL NEVER BE INTELLIGENT LIKE HUMANS.

WHAT WOULD BE AN EXAMPLE OF SOMETHING YOUR BRAIN CAN DO THAT A ROBOT CAN'T IMITATE?

WELL, FOR EXAMPLE. I CAN TELL WHEN A MOVIE IS GOOD IF THAT WERE INTELLIGENCE, ALL SMART PEOPLE WOULD LIKE THE SAME MOVIES.

WELL, I CAN ALSO READ HUMAN FACES TO KNOW WHAT PEOPLE ARE FEELING.

WHAT AM I FEELING RIGHT NOW?

I'M PICKING UP A MIXTURE OF ADMIRATION, AROUSAL AND THOUGHTS OF BACON.

DON'T GET COCKY, BUT YOU WON THIS ROUND.

Accompanying textual content, such as title, tags and transcripts, is shown here if we have it. Not every comic has all of these, and they seem to be a bit hit and miss even on the official website.
