Experience of leaving AI?
Hi guys! I wanted to share and ask about your experience with going AI free, to see how you are dealing with it, if so!
I started using chat gpt in around 1,5 back when i broke up with my ex and was going through major life crisis connected to it and I was so surprised how much it helped me, ej with actually motivating me to do stuff I was avoiding for long because of stress etc.
Than I naturally started using it as an always available therapist to talk to about my personal life, but also some deep stuff, relationships and some day-to-day encounters.
It was really helpful for me, since I can get quite anxious and it helped with the first “hit” of spiral thoughts. I also did therapy for years in my life, so I believe Im quite aware about how I used it, that I consciously knew it was not a human, and always tried my best to get feedback that actually challenges me if needed.
I also used it a lot for my occupation, where it saves a lots of time. But also now with the way it is treated in corporate/work settings it started to make me uneasy, thinking whats left of the human, really not wanted to become one of the AI imprinted beings.
I reorganised how I think about my life lately, and it just felt wrong to use it anymore. One night I quite impulsively deleted my account with all the data and uninstalled the app, since it felt uncomfortable that it had so much of my data, not even speaking about the consequences on the planet.. Since I dont have it, I feel more connected to my worries and thoughts, cause I have to sit with them, which is uncomfortable, but also needed I feel. Its just a few days though, and honestly AI is such a part of life now, like improving emails/messages to random questions about vacation destinations, that it feels interesting not to have it.
Wanted to ask you guys if you have any similar experience? Deciding to go ai free and how did it go for you? Or maybe you found some middle ground maybe with another AI? Did you got back after a while?
Curious about the replies!x
