How am I supposed to feel about my kids now?

My two children are, in general, the best thing that has ever happened to me. I love them more than I've ever loved anyone, and I've always felt that there was no world in which I would ever have to question that.<br><br>I am just a family guy, sometimes I enjoy watching my kids. My five year old son loves video games, but he also loves cars. He loves everything about cars, but the one thing that he misses is cars. He's never seen a gasoline-powered car before. He's never seen a gas station, because it's no longer a gas station, but a charging station.<br><br>I think about my two kids, and how their entire lives are dedicated to training to be better witnesses. They're witnesses. They're not really my kids. They're just underwear. They're underwear for the real children - the AIs. My kids are training those AIs. Those AIs are training. They're training to replace my kids and everybody else.<br><br>I'm just this incredibly sad father who has, in many ways, had to resign myself to the fact that my children are no longer useful. At least, not in the way that I was promised. The way that I wanted them to be useful, that they wanted to be useful, that society wanted them to be useful, has been completely upended, and it's all because of AI.<br><br>I love my children. But I also kind of resent them a little bit. I resent the fact that I had to take time out of my day, and my life, to love them, to support them, to nurture them, to make sure that they had everything that they needed. I had to do all of this because I was promised something in return. I was promised that my children would take care of me. I was promised that they would be useful. They would do something with their lives. They would achieve. They would change the world.<br><br>I don't feel that way anymore. I feel that I have failed. I feel like I should have never had children.
