Tea & Whiskers: I, Robots Adore.

I have always loved robots.

Ever since I was a little girl, and I started reading, I adored robots. I really fell in love with robots when I read Isaac Asimov. His robot series sparked my imagination and that fire has burned brightly my whole life.

I love robots as much as I love rockets, and space and the Moon. I get very emotional about space travel, and one of my biggest dreams is to go to SpaceX or NASA and see all the marvelous things they do. I'm not smart enough to ever understand any of it, but I dream big dreams, and I love that human's always desire to press forward and explore.

Did I ever imagine I'd be living in the timeline of AI? Nope. But I'm so glad I'm alive for it. I'm so glad to be alive and to be at the beginning of humanity stepping into this crazy new unknown. Some people are freaking out - oh it's end of time - or we'll lose all the jobs - AI is here to steal all the art - so on, so forth - but I don't see any of that.

I'm just here, with the popcorn, watching as the world unfolds into what is going to be a new era and it's fascinating.

Will we get household robots? That's a question. Would I want a household robot.

Yes. I would actually. Would I spent $20,000 on one. Yeah. If I had that cash to burn, I would. Why?

Well - it's a pretty simple answer. As someone who lives with a chronic illness, one of my biggest frustrations is that I burn through my physical reserves just maintaining the interior of my house - I haven't even been able to touch on the garden, and that really upsets me. If I had a robot that could help maintain the house, I could do more. I could even maybe get a job, and finally feel like I was out in the world, I could meet people, and find maybe find that allusive husband.

Doors could be opened! Possibilities people!

But right now, it's just...me and the house, that's all I can do.

And that's not a bad thing. I am really grateful, and full of love and happiness for what I have - but oh - I imagine the possibilities if I had a robot.

We're decades away from that sort of scenario though, but I still think it's exciting that there are people out there exploring the mere idea of it and that's what makes me happy. It makes me happy that there are people working on grand ideas, and grand thoughts, and grand notions and visions and they go for them.

Humans are incredible. And the notion of robots shouldn't scare us, or worry us. Instead, we should see them as a reflection of our own endless drive to create, to imagine and to explore. We were created in the imagine of God.

So naturally, we would also want to create.

I think there is nothing more obvious of our divine Creator, than us desiring to create, just like him.
