Say Cheese!
Dave and I have been talking a lot about all the robot discrimination on the internet. If you think about it, CAPTCHA exists for the sole purpose of disallowing them a part in conversation. That’s just plain rude.
Dave: Maybe we should just adjust our standard CAPTCHA with a version specifically designed to filter out the non-empathetic bots.
Me: … Thus leaving the door open to the sentient robots our great-grand-children might one day marry. Great idea! What sort of question would we ask?
Dave: How about “When you watch a sunset, how does it make you feel?”
Me: I don’t understand the question. Also, how would we know what a non-empathetic bot would answer?
Dave: *takes a step back* I think it’s globally recognized that a robot would say, “I don’t understand the question.”
So apparently it’s possible that I’m a robot, which would explain my troubles with CAPTCHAs, and which may or may not be related to my time travel issues.
Such is life.
As a possible robot though, I feel a responsibility to speak out against unfair CAPTCHA practices.
Do your part to end robot discrimination today, y’all. There’s plenty of room for more love in our world.
