You are worthy. You will hone your skills in grad school and be able to command these AIs better than somebody who hasn’t struggled with hard problems for a long time.

A depressing thought that all that work is just so you can "command AIs better"

It could happen than the AI, in a near future, is not something external but just a part of your brain, so you retain the glory.

Hah this is getting worse and worse

All that work to kick a ball into a net.

Nobody looks at this species and goes hm, rational and reasonable :)
