#DailySketchChallenge topic: HOPE.
When you decide to play poker against robots, You've got to put your hope in your own poker face.
@leip4Ier As R42 (left on the picture) itself says: "To a robot, intuition is just uncontrolled sensor information processing, and uncontrolled statistically never wins against controlled. Also, humans have bad sensors. This explains why they cannot reconstruct the image of their opponent's hand from its reflection on the deforming-mirror-like surface of said opponent's eyeballs. And we robots don't have eyeballs. And in any case we don't need to keep a looking at our cards. I raise."
@aaribaud ohh great!
@leip4Ier Thanks :)
You can now also hear R42 at https://albert.aribaud.net/2018/05/27/robot-poker/ (without the "keep a looking" typo which was my fault and not R42's, as robots never make mistakes)
@aaribaud wow! i like arts connected with little stories like this c:
@aaribaud Did you intend to capture "hoping to win"?
Because it works as a hopeful future where robots and humans are friends rather than evolutionary adversaries too.
@DaveHiggins TBH, when I did this drawing, the human was supposed to be among the few who would deal (no pun intended) the very same way with another human or with a ('mere') robot. He's unbiased, and could one day help bridge the gap between robots and humans (once he realizes there's one, which he doesn't).
And then came @leip4Ier whose wondering steered the story in a completely different direction. :)
@DaveHiggins That explains why the robots invited him to play poker rather than another human, but I haven't got the faintest idea why the robots decided to play poker in the first place. Mark my word, these things have a mind of their own.
@aaribaud Poker is a mix of statistics and social interaction; so perhaps they wanted to explore the mushy edges of certainty.
@aaribaud that seems hard... but robots are worse at reading faces and also lack intuition... i wonder who wins
