I really like this bit from the TV show Pantheon - kinda sorta talking about A1:
"Unfortunately,
I and the others like me
cannot be trusted with this power.
We are not ghosts.
We are not aliens.

We are not gods.

I’m having a hard time thinking of an interview between two human beings I enjoyed more than tonight’s interview of the great Ian McKellen by the great Stephen Colbert. Every moment of it was a pleasure that I highly recommend… but then came the most REMARKABLE ending that you really HAVE to watch.
