#DailySketchChallenge topic: HOPE.
When you decide to play poker against robots, You've got to put your hope in your own poker face.
@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 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.
@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. :)
