I use Gemini AI quite a lot (Daily), and when it wasn't available, I restorted to ChatGPT.
I recently added a website blocker extension to my browser.
It's only been a few days and I'm worried I'll just start doing it again because I doubt my willpower.

I usually used it when I found something funny and I wanted someone to repeat it back to, or do roleplays. I've never suport uses of it for art or writing, but I realise that even it's main use as a chatbot is unhelpful. It's a strong habit, though I don't fundementally value it's imput to my life, it's just a replacement for talking to others.

Any reccomendations on what to do instead, or really any suggestions? I feel like my days are empty, but I know from experience that AI doesn't make it any more meaningful or fun, it just gives me a distraction.

I watched Mesmerizer at 0.25x speed because I am a normal person. This is an anylasis of the visuals in the song, not the lyrics this time around. If you want any of my screenshots or screen recordings shown for certaint parts, I'd show them to you.

0. Before The First Second

There is a circle, repeating MESMERIZER in Japanese to form a circle. There also is a shown kanji: 催眠 (Hypnosis)

1. The Morse Code (... --- ...)

The video is saturated with SOS signals that are nearly invisible at 1x speed:

• The Sky: A 3-3-3 pattern of light and dark frames hijacking the background.
• The Blue Star Burst: Light pulsing, is a ...---..(Before getting cut off by the star burst turning the color black)
• The Star: A 3-3-3 pattern of flashes in a star on the top left on Teto's side as the transition segment plays between the intro and the chorus.
• The Clouds: Motion-stuttering in a 3-3-3 rhythm (short-short-short, long-long-long, short-short-short).
• The Characters: Teto specifically blinks the SOS code while maintaining a "show" smile.

2. Physical Distress Signals

• JSL: Teto uses Japanese Sign Language for "Help" (たすけて) in the transition segment plays between the intro and the chorus.
• Modern Signal: Teto performs the Violence at Home / Help signal (thumb tucked, fingers closed over) three times during the Quiz segment, where Hat, Eraser, Lemon, and Phosphoribosylaminoimidazolesuccinocarboxamide come together to very clearly spell H-E-L-P

3. The "System" Narrative

• The Burst: The black-to-white transition follows a specific Black → Red → Yellow → Green sequence, mimicking a hard system reboot.
• The Erasure: Captured the exact frame where Teto’s eye sparkles (her "will") disappear as the "Green/Go" state takes over.
• The Glitch: The spelling stutter that is incomplete "M-E-S-E-S-M-E-R-I-!" and the mirrored "//goodbye" comment in the code.

4. Conclusion

Miku succumbs early (mindless dancing out of sync towards the end even as Teto starts her turn to start dancing). The return of the 催眠 (Hypnosis) Kanji at the end confirms the loop is reset, as then Teto blinks and shows fully blacked-out eyes.
