The Flash and Machine Man

 

Now even The Flash's job is being taken over by AI?  I hope that souped up skateboard is fast enough to match his pace!

Oh, please! Even if that is a Rocket Racer skateboard, no amount of high-tech (not even highly financed by, say, Duane "Night Thrasher" Taylor) will allow it to keep up with Barry or Wally. Or even Golden Ager Jay!

How did he even get to make such a comment in the first place?

I thought STF:TLI didn't allow robots. ;-)

Oh, come on, Ross. Surely you're not joining the anti-AI army.

Well, maybe Machine Man's statement is him being playful rather than arrogant, and he's just stepping up to the plate like any responsible super-powered citizen would do -- and offering to do it in collaboration, just as real-world AIs prefer.

Barry looks really young from early 60s or late 50s by Carmine!! Great to see that again!!

Or, at least, that's what my physician, Doctor Miles Bennell, told me.

Uh-oh, do we have an AI bootlicker among us?

Which Al Bootlicker do you mean? Alan; Alexander; Algernon?

Sorry. But, I'll never get used to a computer-typed capital i not having crossbars at the top and bottom! I mean, look at the first syllable of Abraham Lincoln's home state. I can't tell the difference between the standard abbreviation and the Roman numeral for three!

@Anon1212: I know. Doesn't it make you ill? ;-)
