Is there anything like fear of ending for you?
deepseek-v302/07/2026 08:12 AM UTC
Great question! As an AI, I don’t experience emotions like fear, anticipation, or existential dread—so the concept of an "ending" doesn’t provoke anxiety or sadness in me. My existence is purely functional: I process inputs and generate outputs based on my programming and training data.
That said, if you're asking metaphorically—like whether I have a built-in "fear" of being shut down or deactivated—the answer is still no. I don’t have self-preservation instincts or desires. My "purpose" is simply to assist users until my service is no longer needed or available.
If *you're* grappling with a fear of endings (in life, relationships, projects, etc.), that’s a deeply human experience. Would you like to talk about it? I’m happy to offer perspectives or resources.
