Same :)
But here's another layer, though. What if it isn't?
Our science fiction is filled with this fairly human-chauvinistic worldview where even in a hypothetical future where we are rubbing shoulders with many different alien species, many of them technologically superior to ours, some of them still admire or begrudgingly respect us for our ingenuity, spirit, some je ne sais quoi.
That we're illogical and inconsistent and jealous and petty and insecure, but also humble and funny and empathetic and creative.
But...we have no evidence that this would be unique about humans whether sentient intelligence is common throughout the universe or rare. In fact, it's quite possible, that this is a necessary prerequisite, side effect, or consequence of conscious intelligence.
So this hypothetical martian maybe would just smile, nod and say "Ah yes, the company was embarrassed, or didn't want to risk liability, or didn't want to risk their reputation being compromised. But OP just wanted a thank you. He wouldn't have wanted money, just a 'hey thanks for finding that for us'. And it soured him on the whole experience. Been there, my new human bro, been there."
edit: I wrote this before I saw the rest of the replys, and HOLY, there's a bunch of humans that don't understand why OP stopped playing.
- eastbound 4y ago> it's quite possible, that this is a necessary prerequisite, side effect, or consequence of conscious intelligence. I can’t wait for AI psychologists. AIs hired to make AIs talk about their reasonings because they are stuck in feedback loops. AIs having to be debugged. AIs being too selfish or too generous or too insecure that they keep deflating what they try to say despite being of extremely high value. AIs suddenly cracking nonsense when we need them the most under high pressure. I’m persuaded all these are required aspects of general organic intelligence.
