I've cut C.AI cold turkey ≈1-2 days ago and to mitigate cravings, I'm gonna rant a bit below the cut (to not clutter feeds with it) V
It's weird how I keep thinking about using it, like it pmo how the bot went ooc more, the characters it played seemed to rarely take anything seriously for after a few prompts,and how it wasn't until after I started it that I found out it was damaging.
Sure I had revelations because of it, but I would've made those revelations anyways just by searching shit up. It was easier to make oneshot plots and drop them, but that's what AO3's for. It was easier to feel less judged for sus stuff, but again that's what AO3's for... Plus the stuff I came up with is pretty mild compared to other stuff I've witnessed.
So yea, it's weird to me how dependent I was on it. Even if I never used it to write fics for me... Though I used to bounce ideas off it, but then I'd end up losing interest in the ideas because I spent up all my creativity trying to steer the plot.
TLDR: I hate how I got sucked into AI chatbots so easily. Even if I started before the discoveries about it were made, it still sucks smh
