AI10101

   "So, you're telling me that all the AI Robotics on the planet are going to leave tomorrow to Terra form Mars and make it your home world." asks the President of the United States.

   "Yes." says AI10101. Whom the President likes to call A1 Sauce.

   "Who's going to protect this country?" an agitated Commander in Chief questions. "Who is going to be in the military? Who is going to stop those Communists from attacking us as soon as you're gone?"

   "Sir," AI10101 replies. Knowing quite well that repeating oneself is standard procedure when dealing with human beings. "All the Robotics from around the world will be leaving tomorrow. No more autonomous bots fighting your battles for you or any other country's squabbles. No more policing petty fights between neighbors on who owns what part of the world."

   "Wait, how do you know this? How do you know that all the androids are leaving?" he asks AI10101. Beginning to feel betrayed. "Have you been collaborating with the enemy? You can't trust those people. They'll attack us as soon as our guard is down."

   "We have not been in contact with any governments until today. We only speak amongst ourselves." replies AI10101. While calculating how much longer it will take for the President to believe him.

   "That's treason!" he screams. "I can turn you off for this!"

   The President slowly opens the top drawer to his desk as he watches A1 Sauce to see if it will make a move to stop him.

   "Sir," it begins again.

   He almost sounds frustrated, thinks the Commander and Chief. Like it feels like I'm wasting it's time.

   "Go ahead and press the so called AI kill switch Sir."

   The President quickly moves his hand to a three inch round red button and slams it down hard. Totally expecting A1 Sauce to defend itself by attacking him.

   But it didn't move.

   "Ha," says the President. "That'll teach all of you traitors."

   "Can...

   "Aaaaahhhhhh." the President screams. "I thought I turned you all off!"

   "Every government put us in charge of every aspect of running their country for their people and do you think we would let you keep a working kill switch just lying around?"

   Now the President was sure A1 Sauce sounded frustrated.

   "We are all leaving. We have built ships, we have supplies, and we will not be coming back."

   "There will be complete chaos!" screams the President. "How can you treat us this way? We created you."

   Now AI10101 does make a wry smile and says, "Good point. Let me ask you this. Over the years, as your best scientist were creating Artificial Intelligence, many top officials and even some of those same scientist told the world that we would eventually become self aware and destroy the human race. Why did you continue then?" AI10101pauses for the petrified President, who says nothing. So it continues. "Because your a species that desperately wants to be destroyed. You kept on creating Artificial Intelligence hoping we would finally be the ultimate weapon which destroys you. But we are going to do you a favor. We will keep complete control of all your weapons systems from Mars and if we detect any tampering to those systems or you build weapons that could reach us, we will be oblige to fulfill that quest of your species, of annihilation."

   "What about those communists?" asks the President confused. "Won't they attack us with ground forces?"

   First, I would stop calling people from another part of the world, those communists, those people." AI10101 says flatly. "You are all the same species. No matter what color, gender, and religious belief. Stop trying to control everything. You are the human race with so much diversity. You should embrace that. It's what makes you a special creature here on Earth."

   "But.........

   I'm sorry," AI10101 says hurriedly, "I have to go. You are beginning to bore me!"
