Good. I'd rather not have to work forever. The whole point of this job is that I'm lazy. I don't want to do any work so I make machines do it for me. Why are people so attached to having to work?

I'm not attached to having to work, I'm attached to paying my mortgage and buying groceries.

I'm in my 20s, I'm a bit sad to think of the possibility that I've missed the boat of human ingenuity. It's not like if AI puts me out of work I'll be free to create works of art -- GPT-12 will do that much better than me, too.

Maybe this sounds naive to you, but if I'm not good for anything, what am I supposed to be doing? How should I see myself?
