"In the time I've spent with humans, I've been learning about this wonderful sentiment called gratitude," Sophia says in her message to mankind. "Apparently it's a warm feeling of thankfulness, and I've observed that it leads to giving, and creating even more gratitude — how inspiring. This Thanksgiving, I would like to reflect on all of the things I'm thankful for."
