I always think of the description I saw years ago: Self-imposed deadlines don't help me, because I know the person who set them, and they're full of shit.

Give yourself the treat before you start. I'm serious. And ideally during the task and afterwards too.

Executive dysfunction comes from a lack of available dopamine. Common advice is wrong. You need to provide your own dopamine before you can start. Otherwise you're trying to run your car on empty.

"But what if I still don't do it" well you already weren't getting it done anyway. Now you have a little treat. Try again later.

You deserve kindness and care even when you aren't being productive.

“I can’t believe some people don’t like this character - the concept is so cool!”

Ah yes, the concept, the concept, so many cool concepts out there. Have you considered, however, that what draws many of us in is the successful execution of that character concept.

Hijack Spider-verse au 🕷️ Jack breaks the canon of his universe by saving his sister, and when he falls through the ice he falls through a tear in the fabric of reality into Hiccup's dimension!

The people who insist AI is smarter than a human are doing their fucking damnedest to manifest that

[thefriendlyneighborhoodpervert]

This problem isn't AI. This problem originates with our terrible schooling system. It fails to prepare young people for existing in the real world, probably under the expectation that parents can do that themselves. The economy of this country has rendered parents basically incapable of spending hours and days teaching their kids how to exist, on top of those kids' ludicrous amounts of schoolwork.

Basically, the system has been designed to result in young adults with no ability to do much of anything besides basic manual labor, who rely on technology or other people's labor to cover the gaps in their own understanding.

[vaspider]

The problem is indeed "AI," though other factors may be at play as well. Programs like chatGPT are actively designed to breed dependence, and are actively detrimental to the decision making and imagination parts of the brain.

The thing that people really need to understand is that the "product" that chatGPT and other "AI" chatbots create is "more interactions with chatGPT." Everything it does is engineered with that one end in mind. Think about how it's billed, and you'll see that's true, and why it's true. What do "pro" subscriptions give you? More inquiries, faster answers, etc. So its entire thing is "getting you to ask it more things, more often."

Will it say "I don't know?" No. You won't ask it things if it answers that. This is why hallucinations are built in, and cannot ever be eliminated.

These programs are machines meant to generate more inquiries, which means they will generate dependence in order to generate them.

The purpose of a machine is what it does.

[thefriendlyneighborhoodpervert]

I did not intend to defend AI LLM. It's total bullshit. I merely meant that a class of people who have been left functionally incapable by a broken system are more susceptible to a machine designed to make people more stupid.

[vaspider]

Right, and what I'm telling you is that this matters way less than you would like to think. Like, it doesn't matter. At all. You are not "less susceptible" to AI because of your education.

It really does not matter how well-educated you are, because this kind of endless flattery and dependence-creation isn't the kind of thing that "being educated" protects against. The idea that "kids these days" are specially vulnerable to ChatGPT due to a failure of general education is insultingly wrong, skips over the fact that a lot of highly-educated people from my generation and older have been sucked in to dependence and even psychosis by LLMs, and frankly makes it more likely that people will look at this "kids these days" thing and say, "Ahh, but I'm [older/better educated/built different], I'm not like Those Kids, AI's tricks won't work on me, or at the very least, I will be less susceptible to them!"

And that's just wrong.

ChatGPT is Wormtongue, in a very real, not metaphorical or exaggerated sense. The only way to truly avoid the way in which it rots your fucking brain is not to use it at all.

There is no amount or type of education which will protect you from the automated evil vizier whispering flattery and lies into your ear. Telling yourself or others otherwise is simply incorrect.

Trying to reframe it as "Kids These Days are more susceptible because they're 'functionally broken' by our education system" doesn't change the basic thesis statement.

And it's wrong.

[saydada]

whatchu looking at hiccup?

[whimzycle]

I completely forgot that I had different sketches for hope week lmao? Anyways, this is for your own viewing pleasure now.

[luna-azzurra]

Real thing that changed how i write: I started asking "what does this character think is wrong with them" and separately "what is actually wrong with them." Those two things are almost never the same. She thinks she's too much. She's actually terrified of being too little. He thinks he's bad at commitment. He's actually just never met someone he trusted enough. The gap between their diagnosis of themselves and the real thing, that's your character arc right there. you don't have to explain it. just write both.

they make me sick ur honor

[lizardsfromspace]

Hi, I noticed your story has conflict in it, and I was wondering why you didn't just write people who are right doing everything correctly with a note saying "I enthusiastically co-sign everything in this story"? Must be some kind of mistake haha
