Ah, but I wrote it from the human POV. Because it was easier. The narrator on Mars is like Frankenstein on the ice. One idea I had was a cute little baby robot, but that would take a lot of words to describe properly.
I like this very much, artificial sentience is such a fertile place to draw stories from, and is one of my favorites in SciFi. I like the human PoV, and would love to see more of this.
I agree with Elsha, that although we were able to create the robots, the fact that they outsmart us means they wouldn’t revere us as Gods (more like a teenager does his/her out-of-touch parents).
I think it is a depiction of our not-so-distant future, but you should flesh it out more (use additional Ficlets. It’s allowed).
