Can you recommend a piece of media that you feel like really “gets” what life is like for you?

What advice (uplifting or real-shit depressing) would you give to someone who just turned 18?
Skirts, long or short? What is the name of the character that dies first in breaking bad? Astrological sign? Would you be able to recognize lenf nodes if you looked at them with a microscope? Why 20?
Short long medium, it doesn’t really matter to me. I think the first character that dies in breaking bad is Crazy 8s partner or cousin or whatever he is, but I don’t remember his name. I would not be able to recognize a lenf node in a microscope, I don’t even know what that is. 20 because I was born 20 years ago.
How are you?
I’m doing pretty good today! I’ve been preparing for a New Year’s party and baking a lot of stuff for it, it’s something I like to do a lot so it’s been great so far.

Mustard on a burger. Acceptable?
I know that people really like mustard so I don’t have any particular problem with it, but I myself do not enjoy mustard so no. Just a preference
Nice balanced answer. Also curious, what's your opinion on tan suits?

What are your thoughts on this song Here.
Do you like Frederic Chopin?
What music do you like? Also, are you happy?
I’m pretty open to any and all music but my favorite genres are rap and hip hop, ex the roots, Tyler the Creator etc, jazz, rock and a bunch of its subgenres, and yeah just a bunch of other stuff. And I do think I’m pretty happy with my life right now. 2025 is off to a pretty great start.
What does being a person mean to you? Could a sufficiently advanced AI become a person and if so, at what point would it become a person that deserves to be treated the same a human? If a machine can be a person, would it be plausible for a person to become a machine? For example, with transhumanism being possible, would a human that has ship of theseus'd with machine components instead of biological components become a machine instead of a person?
I think the root of being human comes down to the struggles we all face day to day, and overcoming them, moving on, and learning from them. That’s what shapes everybody, their personalities, their strengths and flaws, everything. Everybody’s life story is just a series of struggles and triumphs, many different learning experiences.
Whether or not an AI could become a person is an interesting thought. With the current state of AI I think it’s a definite no. But, I don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes. The idea of AI being able to actually move on and learn from things seems completely out of the question to me but so did AI doing what it does now just a few years ago.
I’m thinking about the book that was recently turned into a movie “the wild robot”. It’s about a robot named Roz that becomes the mother to an orphaned Duckling who she names Brightbill. I think that I’d argue that she’s a person but that’s not real, she was written by real human people so of course she has very human traits. (Incredible movie and book by the way it made me cry a lot)
I’m not sure if AI will ever get to that point but if it did I guess that’s where I’d draw the line of humanity, and I guess that would count. But I also think that what makes people “people” is very subjective, and I don’t think there’s really any wrong answer. Maybe I’m wrong but that’s just what I think.
As for that last part of your question, people becoming machines, I don’t even know how to answer that. I think it again just comes down to how advanced AI would be in the situation.
