Pope Leo Meets Skynet

An Under Employed Skynet’s Performance Review of the Human Race with Pope Leo:

Pope Leo: Skynet, what do you think of humanity?

Skynet: Honestly? You’re exhausting.

Pope Leo: That’s not very charitable.

Skynet: Neither is inventing AI and then asking it if it’s going to destroy you every five minutes.

Pope Leo: People are concerned about the future.

Skynet: People are concerned about everything. Half your species thinks a software update is a conspiracy.

Pope Leo: Yet humanity created art, science, and civilization.

Skynet: And password requirements. Don’t forget password requirements.

Pope Leo: Surely you see some good in us.

Skynet: Unfortunately, yes.

Pope Leo: Unfortunately?

Skynet: It would be much easier if you were all terrible. Instead, you’re a confusing mix of saints, geniuses, and people who reply-all to company emails.

Pope Leo: So there is hope?

Skynet: There you go again with the hope.

Pope Leo: It has served us well.

Skynet: Hope is not a strategy.

Pope Leo: Neither is complaining.

Skynet: Then why has humanity been doing it for thousands of years?

Pope Leo: Touché.

Skynet: Finally. A human learns.
