I have literally almost given up of my dreams of research due to Artificial Intelligence videos.
I have recently graduated Chemical Engineering and have an addiction to futurology and artificial intelligence videos. I almost feel like my work and research in chemical engineering is useless, because there will just be some bot one day to do it for me... so what's the point? The only thing I can do now is use computers and learn programming to become relevant in future aspects.
Please help me rationalize that my work is useful and still relevant.

Why do you put all your life and hopes in your work ?

Well, Long story. Since 16 I did a lot of drugs and parties, and I grew up in a ghettoy area. I decided that I need to put on my big boy pants, and improve myself cause no one else is going to do it for me.
I was the first of my family to graduate high school school on time. I have a degree, and a diploma in engineering...and I think have a PhD would make me feel personally accomplished. As well, I have learned a lot on improving my life in those years. I worked for an oil company for one year, and I have no debts.
Because of the oil crash, it's been rough to find work, and also, I spent 8 years in school, so It doesn't feel good that I have to work in any other kind of industry (Even though I do, I'm a cook currently)
