Yes, I think people define themselves by their roles, especially men
Even if so - the definition of oneself is what that person gets paid for, not what that person enjoys doing (or even is just good at)?
(Especially with jobs, folk on LinkedIn will describe their job as anything but their actual everyday job, or lie/exaggerate about their job when with other people - so not even that "role" is true.)
... like, lmao, except if it's like a weird grinding kink or something.

That's a sign of toxic culture, not of men wanting to be defined by what value they can bring.
*monetary value
(in relation to toxic culture)(bcs value that people actuality bring to society often isn't fairly valued in terms of money or even not at all)

You have a very limited view of what life should, or even can be.

American attitudes about AI today mirror poll answers about the rise of the internet in the '90s
Artificial intelligence chat tools like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini and Microsoft’s Copilot have achieved significant public adoption, according to the latest NBC News Decision Desk Poll powered by SurveyMonkey.

Nothing like comparing a technology that took more than 10 years to get "released in the wild" and had several "killer apps" built using it very early on (email, instant messaging, web pages, online games) and many companies had no idea how to get money with it, vs. a "content generator" that is run almost entirely on promises of increased productivity and profit.

No it's biology

It's not a normative statement. I don't necessarily think it's good. I just don't think people can be happy being useless

Ah yes 1998, the last year before Matrix.
Huh I thought matrix was pretty new, and people used irc back then.

Yeah, but internet was for the people for decades.
(And it didn't really cost nature as much. Or stolen from the people so much - even by current laws LLM companies do that illegally.)"AIs" are getting their enshitification & monopolies pre-baked into their core bossiness models from the start.
Not to mention that AIs will definitely worsen inequalities all over the world (like assembly robots that replaced people but aren't owned by people, and people still need to work 8h/day for decades for some reason).
(This but AI. I'm not saying, there aren't/won't be other jobs, just pointing out how this reshapes & concentrates wealth that on the other hands allows for slave wages with no prospects for full time jobs.)
If AIs will affect the world as much as the internet (and do so with peoples data), then they should be seen as core infrastructure - and government or non-profit owned.
Monetisation of all the things is killing us.
Also the AI could automate away that man's hobby...

You said people yearn for "the workplace"

The two aren't equivalent. One of them is an actual proven technology that definitively exists, the other one is still to prove itself.
