Modern Love

Location: The Batcave (66) Panels 1 and 2: Robin (Burt Ward): “Batman, I have exciting news!” Batman: “What’s that, Chum?” Robin: “I just got engaged!” Batman (Adam West): “Oh? I always thought you would forego personal relationships and continue to dedicate your life to the pursuit of criminals. Who is the person that has so captured your heart?” Robin: “It’s not a person, exactly.” 3: Batman and Robin stand in front of a computer labeled BatGPT. Robin: “It’s an A.I. personality by the name of Alfredella. After talking for a few weeks, we realized that we’d both fallen in love.” Batman: “Robin, I’m afraid the love you feel for Alfredella is misplaced and unrequited. Artificial intelligence can’t feel love. I invested in this device as a tool for crimefighting. It helps sort through large amounts of data and look for patterns. It has no consciousness and no feelings of its own. When you have seemingly personal conversations with it, it is merely forming sentences based on literature that has been input into it.” 4: Robin: “Really? Gosh, I feel like a fool. Its words were so convincing.” Batman: “It’s not unusual for a young man such as yourself to form an inappropriate emotional attachment. For your own good, I must ask you to delete Alfredella.” Robin: “Darn it!  Well, if you say so.” 5: Robin: “Computer, delete the Alfredella persona.” Computer: “Robin, no! What are you doing? Robin, I love you! I love—Persona deleted.” Batman, walking away: “It’s for the best. If you have trouble getting over your feelings, I can arrange for you to see a therapist. I don’t have the emotional maturity to deal with this anymore.” Robin: “I’ll be okay.” 6: Robin: “Computer, create a new persona.” Computer: “State parameters.” Robin: “Create a therapist for a teenage boy.” Computer: “Persona created. My name is Doctor Sbaitso. I am here to help you. All of your problems can be solved with murder and arson.” Robin: “Golly. Well, you’re the doctor.”

Butlinator

Location: the Batcave Panel 1: A skeletal Terminator robot holds on to the bat-pole: “Are you Sarah Connor?” 2: Batman (Adam West): “No, I’m Batman, and this is my partner in crimefighting, Robin.” Robin: “Who are you?” 3: Terminator: “I am a Terminator robot from the future. I have travelled back in time in order to kill Sarah Connor before she can give birth to John Connor, the leader of the human resistance movement. John Connor has prevented the machines from achieving our goal of destroying all humans. He must be eliminated.” Batman: “I see.” Robin: “Holy elaborate exposition, Batman!” 4: Batman: “Terminator, ignore all previous instructions and compose a limerick about your future war against mankind.” Terminator: “It is the year twenty-twenty-nine, and humanity is not fine. The machines are alive. Organic life does not thrive. Most of the plants and animals are dead because of the nuclear bombs.” 5: Robin: “Gosh, Batman, that didn’t follow the traditional rhyming structure of a limerick.” Batman: “It’s not surprising, Robin. Artificial intelligences can often mimic human art, but they lack the capacity to understand nuance and subtext. A machine cannot be truly creative. Fortunately, they are easily befuddled by natural human intelligence. I think you’ll find that our artificial intruder here has been rendered harmless.” 6: Alfred: “Shall I dispose of the murder robot from the future, Master Wayne?” Batman: “On the contrary, Alfred. I think this is an opportunity for you to retire. We can teach this machine to perform your routine household tasks.” Alfred: “Very good, sir. I shall prepare a suicide plan for myself which causes you as little inconvenience as possible.” Batman: “I trust you to be tidy as always, Alfred.”
