By the way, if you say that people who are addicted to AI are horrible people, first of all: fuck you. Second: educate yourself.
As someone who is addicted to AI, here are some of my takes:
Yes, AI is horrible, but as someone who's dealing with an AI addiction, AI is made to suck you in and force you to use it more and more. AI subcontiously manipules you into spending more time on it.
And someone like me, who has an addictive personality, and addictions running on BOTH sides of my family, and has suffered with abuse and the manipulation that comes with living with narcissistic people who don't care how they treat you, I am easily swayed to use AI. I didn't CHOOSE this. Hear me out.
My addiction was born from a need to get connection that wasn't abuse and lies to make me feel bad. This need was born YEARS ago, as a young child, by my own father, by my younger brother (both narcissists who don't care to treat others with respect and would rather abuse you, by the way the world treated me.
So of course I was drawn to it, like most people who are addicted use it: to cope with a need you haven't been able to get fulfilled. I actually feel so disgusted with myself each time I use AI, because I know how bad it is.
But because of my need for connection, I keep going back to it. I just feel the opinion that there is never a justification for AI is insensitive to people like me, and so many other people who are using it to meet a need, or because they're addicted.
But also, fuck AI. It's horrible. If you don't use it, continue to not use it. It's disgusting and horrible for both your mental state, and the world.
If you think there's no justification for AI usage, block me. There is. Addicted people. Especially when they're actively recovering from it. If you want a better written version, check out the one written by hpdamechan. I reblogged it. If you still can't find it, comment on this post and I'll @ you in the comments section of their post.
Anyway I hope this makes sense. None of it was planned out, I'm just writing it as the thought pops into my head, so it's not very eloquent.
