I do regularly say "I don't want to live in this world any more".

Between utter failure to make progress on stopping global warming, to the rich pushing fascism on the rest of us, so they can avoid the consequences of global warming, it feels like everything is going to keep getting worse for hundreds of years.

I think there was some debate over whether or not zombies could exist, but LLM chatbots seem very much like this kind of zombie.
