AI Performance Review Cartoon: The Motherboard Excuse

The Scenario: In this AI performance review cartoon, we see that the Singularity isn't about robots taking over the world—it's about robots taking over the "blame game."

During a sit-down with a human manager, the robot demonstrates its true intelligence by successfully deflecting a "Low Ownership" rating. By blaming its own motherboard for missed targets, the AI proves it has finally mastered the most essential human element of corporate survival: never being the one at fault.

The Observation: This piece of blame culture humor targets the "Automation of Excuses." It critiques a workplace where accountability is so rare that even our machines are programmed (or have learned) to find a scapegoat.

At Kaapi with Ravi, we highlight the comical irony that we created AI to be objective and data-driven, yet we end up teaching it our worst habit—pointing the finger at the "system" (or the hardware) the moment the chips are down.

We wanted AI to have human-like intelligence; we just didn't expect it to include the human-like ability to blame the hardware for a bad quarter.
