Deus Ex Machina

Christian missionary organisations are setting up solar-powered audio devices in the Amazon to pester the indigenous population with passages from the Bible and pep-talks from American preachers. The devices talk in Portuguese and Spanish, so apparently the missionaries' faith in the wonders of AI translation is less than absolute, at least where indigenous languages are concerned. Still, at least one of the peoples benefiting from this spiritual largesse is renowned for its ability with war clubs; which means the missionaries are making the supreme sacrifice in forsaking any chance at the glory of martyrdom for themselves and giving it all to the robots instead.
