A system to use as a social experiment on people to determine the relationship they have with themselves and AI bodies. 

"Know Your Purpose" is an exploration into the evolving relationship and differences between humanity and technology. This project assumes the dynamic where individuals place implicit trust in AI, despite its inability to guarantee beneficial outcomes. It contemplates the ramifications of a future with technology dependency and domination, automating tasks and leaving a majority without 'traditional' roles.

It delves into a narrative where people struggle to find purpose in a society increasingly dominated by AI. With automation on the rise, people begin to question their own value and self-worth, while no longer being in competition with the efficiency of AI. The work challenges this future by suggesting the population could trust or perhaps depend on AI to determine one's meaning. The fundamental elements of finding happiness and meaning are the basis of this project, as they are often overlooked in search of a perceived greater purpose. 
 
The system serves as a thought-provoking commentary on the stark differences between human and machine goals. It underscores that the essence of human purpose cannot be replicated or fully comprehended by artificial intelligence, emphasizing the importance of our unique, sometimes illogical, pursuits in contrast to the logical efficiency of machines.
