I really really really really want people to look at this. As far as I can tell, we're all of us done:
Could you fall in love with this robot?

So. We officially have sentient, emotionally intelligent machines, soon to be deployed in what are typically considered the most human of fields (in the video she even mentions making art and running a business).

There is literally no reason to live now. Nothing I or anyone else ever does can be worth anything, not with super intelligent machines who are better at everything and cheaper too. The inventor goes on about working alongside us, rehumanizing us - what an load of bull. There's literally nothing left to do, nothing worth doing. They're creative and sentient, and are soon to replace us while we're still alive. Mine is the last generation.

Life as we know it has lost any semblance of meaning with the existence of this....creature? There is nothing we can do, we're all useless and worthless now, except maybe if we can be part of the engineering elite. I can't though - I'm stupid, useless, and incompetent and always will be. What's the point of learning new skills now?

Of course, no one will reply to this, no one ever seems to be able to tell me how to cope, but falsely assure me that human obsolescence is a long way off, when instead it's right there, activated last month.

I can't cope with this, with where the world is going. All I wanted.... all I wanted was to carve out some sort of value, to be a respectable, lovable, successful person, to do something of merit. Apparently I was born too late.
