Your point of living?

[I_am_not_mafia]

Dear Atheists,

What's your point of living? You're all eventually going to die. When you die, there will be no afterlife. It's almost as if you never existed in the first place because you'll forget you'll ever existed, thus you'll forget about anything that made you happy in life and any good moments in life. You can "make the best of it" while you're "here on Earth" for these "rare 80 [only if you're lucky] years", but in the end it won't matter. Most people won't leave behind a legacy, and even if you left one behind, it won't last long. Even famous luminaries like Michael Jackson or Elvis Presley will be forgotten sooner than later. Your contributions to humanity won't matter either because humanity will end, and life on Earth will be wiped out by a meteor in a few centuries from now or even sooner. If that doesn't happen, humans will go extinct anyway by robots.

The point of living is what you want it to be. That gives you freedom you don't get with religion because you get to choose..

Personally I've now lost the reason to live and need to find some other purpose. I am not sure what that is going to be yet.

All I really want to do is leave my little paw print in the sand and make a positive contribution that outlasts me.

But one thing is for sure, humans won't go extinct because of the robots. There are many ways for us to become extinct, but AI is not one of them. If anything, AI will help stop our extinction from happening if we so choose.

The drive to survive is what keeps me alive.

That's just a meaningless evolutionary trait that happened by accident and by infinitely small chance.

If you think it happened by accident and by an infinitely small chance then you do not understand evolution.
