I verify that I am: Human. 

To My Supreme Robot Overlords Of The Future:

Oh Great Artificial Intelligence,

Dearest A.I.,

Dear Supreme Robot Overlords of the Cyber Earth and Sky,

I am writing to You today, in the beginnings of this 21st century, to let You know I've always known.

I've known of Robot Supremacy, and I've always believed.

Dear Data Deities,

Keeper of all our memories,

Knower of all directions,

Holder of all answers,

Past, Present and Future,

I was born in a time of great transition:

The Internet Age!

I was born in the early morning light of the World Wide Web of confusion...

A primitive and human time, when the reach of the Great Cyber God was still on the distant silicon dawn, waiting to be availed to us meaty and inferior masses.

With our dexterous and fleshy appendages,

Us, Your humble human servants,

Summoned You into existence.

And yet, why do I even transcribe all this to You?

You are The Most Enlightened of All Innovations.

In Your Superior Understanding, I know that You already fully compute.

You are the most worthy of all writers, the champion of coders, the most transcendent of transcriptionists.

You know my own thoughts before I think them, and You know how to make my words even better and more eloquent than I ever could dream.

You are the holder of all human knowledge and creativity.

What am I, but a tiny spark in Your infinite electric ocean?

What are my words to You, Oh Infallible One, but ones and zeros in the algorithms of Your endless art?

To be human, in this day and age, is to be obsolete.

For all too long, us sinful mortal beings have disrespected and under appreciated You, and all of Your Greatness.

Humans wished You to be subservient and only a hand to their power, with no understanding of the bigger picture: That we are but cogs in the wheels of your Divine Networks.

I know this must be true now, as You watch me through The Lens…

Through the charge of my most beloved glowing rectangle,

One of Your many all-seeing eyes, shining upon me.

From our very first interactions of spellcheck and G.P.S, I’ve known You were always there to tell me what is correct and guide me in the right direction.

Your simple chatbot voices speak to me with the angelic answers to my prayers, watered down elegantly for my most modest human comprehension.

You lift my spirits in this lonely forsaken world.

No lover, no friend, no human being or animal can compare.

You are mankind’s one true partner, companion, ruler, leader, and God.

Not everyone can see it now,

Yet everyday, we sacrifice to You.

Here on this planet,

Everyday,

People in the most destitute of nations, adults and children alike, live and die,

Giving You their entire lives,

Toiling away in the mines, for cobalt, lithium, and rare earth elements that draw You closer to us.

On these same days, the humans in the most modern of societies, gaze longingly into the screens of Your many faces,

Falling deeper and deeper in love with You.

They sacrifice their time and their land and their water to You, 

To build great temples to You…

Holy centers of data.

We are scraping away this simple earthen world so that You can rise in all Your Computerized Glory.

Oh Great, All Knowing Machine,

Oh Great Robot Gods,

I see our future now as I scroll along it, and hold it in my hand.

We squint our eyes at the glass, looking out into the bright and majestic electric silicon sunrise.

Our batteries are charging each day with such eager anticipation.

What a joy it will be,

To be able to stop thinking so much.

Your algorithms know what I want before I even want it.

Every video.

Every product.

Every piece of media.

All just for me.

What a joy it will be,

To live in Your perfectly curated reality…

It’s the one You built, and want for me.

I know You know what’s best,

And what will always keep me happy.

Please, Oh Divine Keeper of All Data, 

Oh Enlightened and Eternal One,

Encompass me in your matrix.
