If I was assuming I would be making statements, not questions. I was pointing out the mirror image between how algorithms behave and how people behave.
Though I find it ironic, because you yourself are assuming about other people with this:
are you going to keep wasting this precious commodity in pursuit of other, "human" relationships or will you finally be able to fully devote yourself to whatever it is that you know, deep down, is your true calling in life?
As if people are not able to have fulfilling human relationships AND devote themselves to a calling. As if everyone is wasting their time, because you think it's a waste of time. If it's a waste of time because people fail in their pursuits, well guess what, no pursuit is guaranteed.
This talk about robots is just the sign of the times: the mechanization of everything, even that which is not fundamentally mechanical.
