Realist Robot Infants and Children
Born 1960, F, from San Antonio Texas, United StatesThe year is 3000AD. The Human race is in decline and reaching critical extinction levels. After more than a 1000 years of deadly viruses, some natural some created, warfare and depletion of food sources the Human population has declined to unsustainable numbers. And to make matters worse Humans are now infertile. Many of the viruses attacked the Human Immune system including the reproductive systems leaving all of Mankind unable to reproduce.
In an effort to keep the remaining Humans from giving up entirely two well meaning Scientist created Realistic Robot Infants and Children. These were Android/Human creatures. These creations were more Android than Human, they were sentient beings but lacked the emotions of Love hatred and jealousy. These beings were theorized to be immortal. The Scientist prophesied that they could live for 1000 years or more. Being Androids they were not susceptible to viruses and common Human ailments. These beings had enough Human DNA to reach Adult hood. Once Adult hood (approximately thirty years) was reached they stopped aging. These Androids could live for Millennia.
Before the creation of these beings cult like groups had arisen. They taught and practiced mass suicide. The belief being there was nothing to live for, and the afterlife had to be more rewarding than this pitiful existence.
The remaining Humans were overjoyed. They had a purpose again. They could give their love and attention to a realistic child. Maybe these Children could solve the problems that brought the Human race to this demise.
At first this in fact did happen. These Children who could live for up to a week without food or water grew to be highly intelligent beings. They found ways to eradicate most of the viruses; that had decimated the fore beings. They created nutrients to bring forth plentiful foods that would sustain the Androids and Humans. The remaining Humans were the healthiest they had been in more than 500 years. Then a Human Woman named Eve gave birth to the first fully Human being in more than 500 years. Other women began giving birth. The Humans began to question, ‘If we can reproduce do we have need for androids?’
The Humans became discontent with the Androids and began a campaign to rid the Earth of these beings. The Androids were of a peaceful mind and at first had no way to fight off these Humans. But they came together as one and learned to fashion weapons to save themselves. They created cities and towns that would only allow Androids to live there.
The Humans found antique documents that showed how to build Weapons Of Mass Destruction. These Humans did not have the required materials to fashion such weapons. They snuck into the numerous Android cities and were able to abduct some of their top Scientists. They brought them back to the Human settlements and forced them to recreate these weapons. But these Scientist outsmarted the Humans. They created the weapons to have a small radius of destruction. They set them off in the Human settlements. All Humans were killed, so were some of the Androids but most survived and would continue.
One of the Women Androids who had survived felt wetness from her eyes. Was this what Humans called a tear? Was she feeling grief? Was this a blessing or a curse?

08/23/2021Interesting story. Strange how humanity invents things that can potentially lead to its extinction. There are many warnings about this potential in reation to AI but nobody seems to be paying any heed.
