I'm a college student so I've never had a career. I've always wanted to do something big in life, but I've made mistakes in my early adulthood that's made that less likely like slacking off in college. I still have a chance to redeem myself but recently I started worrying about something I've never worried about before. If robots start doing everything before I can meaningfully contribute to society, then what is the point of my life? I've just lived a life of consumption and nothing I did ever mattered. I'm going to hold out for a few more years and see how things go and if they don't work out, I will commit suicide.
I feel this anxiety of robots taking over deeply :/
I mean in one way it's an irrational fear since when something gets done it is done.
On the other hand I look at all the AI's popping out of the big tech furnaces and shudder.
They are making art, poetry, answer philosophical and political questions and evem proivde some sense of a communication partner.
Sure they aren't advanced enough yet to truly replace us. Especially since all of their answers are based on data produced and created by humans and then fed to them.
Still it's scary...
I've studied composition for well over 2 years now and an AI just rammed me into the ground.
Hope there will be some purpose left for us humanoids ^-^
