This is the other reason it's important to acknowledge/understand that we are not dealing with "artificial intelligence." Because humans are being exploited. (Eg, Amazon Go and the hidden workers calculating your purchases.)

It's not that my son living abroad is my entire identity, it's that this weekend at the skate rink, they played a song he sang 1/15th of once for an acapella workshop and I actually felt sadness in my physical body. So.
Three weeks until he visits. I just have to survive three more weeks.
