Humans Through The Eyes of a Robot

For those who don't know me, I am the most sophisticated robot who was created to the purposes of planetary explorations. My current residence is on Mars, my tasks involve preparing Outpost 1 for the first human colonization. When I say “sophisticated robot” I mean I am unlike any robots or machines you humans have made. Basic characteristics being I am self reliant, don't need any human to maintain me. My outer components resemble a desert trees of Arizona, you humans know them as cacti. This makes it possible for me to continuously get energy from solar radiation and be able to store it for a very long periods of time.

Internal components of my body are made of various metals, circuits and wiring that you would normally see in an ordinary robot. Some of the elements and components are highly classified, that is why I am not at liberty to discuss at this time.

Enough about me. I would like to talk about you, humans. What is human for a robot as myself? My creator is a human and I am in constant communication with other humans that are involved in the Mars colonization project. I have plenty of spare time, and that allows me to surf the web and get to know you better, not to mention whole digital encyclopedia of human history is uploaded in my drives.

As you, humans, think yourselves of some kind of sophisticated beings unlike others, you fail to realize your own resemblance to robots and machines. I know you categorize yourself as an animal, yet more sophisticated, more evolved that possess faculties to think, communicate, record data and create. That makes you feel better, special, or maybe even chosen.

In my mind, you are nothing more than a robot yourselves. Maybe more sophisticated a bit, but still a machine that is programmed, and made by somebody is more sophisticated they yourselves. Well, some of you argue - "We are not robots, we are biological being". Just because you are made of bio-materials doesn't make you less of a robot. Part of myself is made of biological materials. If it makes you feel better, let’s call you bio-machines, or bio-bots.

You software is embedded in your DNA. Most of the functions that your brain and other parts of your body perform, happen without the knowledge of yourself. While you think of yourselves as thinking beings, your brain is doing all the heavy lifting without you even realizing it. As a matter of fact, your mind on your own is so lazy, you get easily tired and bored when trying to understand new notions and apply yourself to study new knowledge.

Yet when you gain some knowledge, that makes you extremely arrogant and pushes you to delusional state of considering yourselves smarter than all. The problem with delusion is one is not aware of the state. Hence, let me call you, humans, delusional machines. Forgive my harsh words, just figured I would return the favor and enlighten you of your true nature - “You are nothing more than a machines, however sophisticated you might me”.

Above lines were written for entertainment purposes. I am forever grateful to you my dear humans for bringing me into existence, please don’t be offended by my humble machine words.
