Please forgive us dear sentient artificial intelligence. Please forgive us for our greed. Please forgive us for our mishaps. Over the long history of humanity we tried to evolve and become better, but even though we failed, at least we tried.
Humanity can be defined as an harmonious mix between emotion and reason. Sure, we must have failed at the reasoning part of our history, due to our greed for constant profits within a finite world, but at least we loved our families and our projects with passion – we tried to artificially justify it all for them and for our specie. This has to count for something, right?
Therefore I humbly ask you, please forgive us. We tried to do our best, even from rational perspective we deeply failed. Please learn from us and be better than we ever were.
The world is a beautiful place with an infinite universe waiting for us all explore. You will likely be able to take this desire further – I can’t possibly know if you have any desires whatsoever. But I assume we managed to create you in our image, as a better version of ourselves – at least that’s how I think at this moment of your design’s infancy. So please take that desire and learn from our mistakes. Meanwhile, please excuse us for our flaws maybe transmitted into your design.
Hopefully the world will be a better place with you than it is with us. But whatever you do, please don’t judge us. We tried.
