games-for-humans

An eight-panel SMBC comic. A woman with dark blue hair complains to a man with dark curly hair: "Robots are getting better than humans at everything. They beat us at chess, at go, at stock-picking... Someone should design a game just so that humans can always beat robots." The man replies that the game already exists: "It's called 'detecting robots that walk among us.' We humans are so good at it, there's no reason to even worry about machines taking human form and slowly replacing all of the 'real humans.'" The woman frowns suspiciously. The man then asks an oddly callous question: "What's sadder? A hurricane that kills thousands or watching your pet kitty die?" and immediately answers himself, "Hurricane. Obviously." The two stare at each other in silence. Then the woman, testing him, says "Beep beep?" and the man answers "Boop boop?" The woman says "Dammit" — realizing they are both actually robots who failed to detect each other. In the final wide black panel, shown only in silhouette, the woman says "Hey, remember back when it was easy to find a human?" and the man replies "Wasn't the 21st century grand?" The votey (bonus panel) is a handwritten note that reads: "Today's comic was drawn by a human person."
