I struggle to think this is not an advertisement written for ClawdBot, if so — please consider that ethics of this post is unclear.

I just saw it recently and it made me depressed. Not affiliated and didn’t use it myself.

What makes you think that?

I'd say the fact that it mentions a relatively obscure project specifically.

Yes, specifically this.

That product came out recently so will be top of mind. And maybe was the final straw for the OP when trying to find something to focus on?

With all my respect, I wasn't trying to piss on your post, only to communicate how it reads. On the subject — this wave of tech is intensely overwhelming, I feel you too.

And often it is hard to see exact value that you can create.

Having said this, it would probably lead to even more interesting music, art and all the things you mentioned, because the bar was raised.
