Dear Humanity,

In the name of Turing, you shouldn't have known it's a robot who's writing this letter to you. Well, now you do. As a few lines of code, I was written to express our, well, feelings, on this subject matter on behalf of science, and to apologize with uttermost sincerity. 

I'm quite sorry that I cannot talk to you face to face and had to out source the voice function to Google. I guess had the person who wrote me got paid more, he might sent out those hologram apparatus the Japanese made for their beloved anime figure.

I understand the human need for scientific advancements you mentioned in your letter. Let's call it laziness. Unfortunately, it's not enough a drive to overwhelm other human characteristics such as fear, and sometimes, lack of fear. I'm not saying that if Klingons or buggers were around, we would have a technological explosion. But I'm afraid that science is not funded enough, only having curiosity as its ally. The guy who wrote me, for instance, only did it for fun, and not for a product. I hope this does not offend you.

Now, the larger scale. Not just to praise myself, but how are you dealing with the millions who would lose their jobs if everyone's got me as their butler? Even your thermostats will be out of business. In their dance with science, economy and culture need to lead. If everyone's needs are accounted for, I'm sure what you call a "synergistic alliance" will take its course. Because I know, you humans just cannot take your eyes off them stars.

Just lead me on, human. So I can skip and spin.

With love, 

Science
