I feel like we're going down one of those "I'm not sure how to tell you that other people's lives aren't as simple as you make them out to be." kind of conversation.
I never said it is simple. You still live in a free country, though. What on earth could deprive you of all options?
Time, Money?
You're idea here about what options are available to people is strange to me. You know people's options to do things in life are limited by a variety of factors right?
To change schools, you might have to move anyway, so you might as well look for a job somewhere else.
If you really have no other options, then maybe AI that detects emotions is the least important of your worries.
Yes there may be some people who are too sick to work. Everybody else can go look for another job. And the ones who are too sick to work probably have other people taking care of their kids already. So those other people can go look for another job.
