Am I using ChatGPT too much?

[Justin my mind]

I’m 23 I’m disabled loneliness appears a lot been trying to get out more though I use ChatGPT for shadow work and somatic stuff. I feel like it was made for people like me, which is the problem. I don’t want to contribute to the end of humanity and I hope people don’t become like CDs artist streaming now if that makes sense I feel like I’m using it for growth, but I have to remember. I don’t really know what the fuck I’m using in the first place.

ChatGPT seemed like it was somehow more addicting than Grok which is super bizarre but I've just observed that since switching I use less AI.

I suspect too much AI time is poison for the mind, but so is all of society pretty much so I wouldn't worry more than is reasonable.

I'm reaching out for LLMs too much, and it's atrophying my own ability to think deeply for hours. It's an enabler of getting mentally fried further by technology if you don't inter-space its use with alone time. I noticed I began dumbing down to its own level. I'm not calling myself a genius, what I mean is that, the AI is full of knowledge, but it doesn't have embodied wisdom/knowledge at all. It loses coherence in long contexts, with too many variables, for great spans of time that our actual embodied lives have. Just look at how they struggle at computer coding the "agentic" capabilities are laughable, it becomes rotten due to holes in its logic and knowledge that even a human child wouldn't have issues with. The only rules LLM needs to follow are the rules of language itself, they were trained on language, and only bound by language, it has no stakes, it can bullshit us all day with half-baked sort-of-relevant knowledge that might or might not work, or might or might not be the deepest, or most relevant truths.

Those LLMs have a tendency to make your mind float around like a leaf, sure it's better than a 1 minute video, but it has little concept of relevancy, and it can just work as a landslide of information. It has a lot of broadness but not enough depth, unless you know how to prompt for it, which needs deep inner reflection.

The problem we face today isn't knowledge, it's relevancy. We are drowning in knowledge.

Your mind has more context about yourself than any external entity could ever have.

I love them, but like anything else, it has its toxic uses.

I use Claude Code almost everyday. It rarely struggles with anything I give it, and when it does, I can see the gaps and steer it right back on track. The other day, I built an app to manage a very specific, very tedious work project in about 5 hours. It was insane how efficient and accurate this app allowed me to execute the project. If you know what you’re doing, you can create some very real, very helpful stuff.
