"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Exercising your mind: as others have said, reading even fiction books for long periods of time, helps with attention span. Also, when you have an impulse to use ChatGPT to ask a question or how to do something or what to do, try think of your own answers first, and then ask. Or, what I like to do, is ask questions on how to pick the right answer, so it’s more like research. For example, I needed to replace my GFCI outlet that tripped. Asking why, how it works, what causes issues, allows me to have a more intimate experience of life than just replacing the outlet and hoping for the best next time.
I think it’s really good for learning, as a co-tutor, but if you are offloading all of your thinking and not remembering anything you’ve discussed, it’s time to take some breaks (like I do no digital Sundays) so that way you are more focused and aware when you do use ChatGPT again.
Hope that helps
