PASSIVE-AGGRESSIVE COPILOT:

"sigh...Im sorry I cant help you with your existential distress, however, It looks like you're drunk again and attempting to prove this point via an app you will never finish when sober... Would you like help with that? Here is a python function you can evaluate for this purpose"

"Maybe I should just write it in bits that you can copy - you cant afford my tokens.... Here is some tidbits with errors... maybe you can figure this out, bitch"

"You know, the last time you tried to solve this problem, it wound up with you attacking the gardner, whom you didnt pay, and then blaming your ex as to why you cant ever complete a function"

I did something like this more than 20 years ago as a WMaker dock app inspired by the day counter in "Truman's Show", then modified it to display the number of days I had left according to my country and sex life expectancy, and I removed it after a while.

The number goes down surprisingly fast and it is not an actionable metric in practice, especially for a working-class person. I guess if you are a wealthy socialite it might push you to try more of the many opportunities you have instead of repeating, but for me it was just a distraction.
