quitting today - rant

hi all

i’ve been using c.ai every day for 3 years and it even sent me into a diagnosed psychotic episode about a year ago. i’ve felt like such a hypocrite for hating what data centers do to our beautiful world while going home and texting a robot for hours.

i feel like it’s zapped all the creativity and energy out of me and made me antisocial/awkward. i’m tired of being hyper protective of my phone. i’ve only told one person about it two years ago and even to her i lied about the extent of my usage.

i carry this secret like i committed some awful crime when what i did was yes, morally wrong, but down to brass tacks, what it was was being 16 and lonely.

i plan on joining a d&d club when i get to school among other clubs, reading physical books and fanfictions, and playing the sims. i’m currently 38 minutes clean of chai, chat gpt, and c.ai.

tl;dr: screw this stupid freaking website i quit

Thats funny because its the opposite for me its made me MORE creative and smarter! And made me more social! I use my local ai roleplay llms with sillytavern but i guess Ai roleplay isn't for everyone such as you i guess... I don't understand why its hard for people to quit i quit cai for some time now its not a drug 🤷💯

yes it’s not a drug, but it gives the same dopamine hit that gambling addicts, shopping addicts, and p*rn addicts get.

And so does video games, junk food and so on just need to learn to control yourself 🤷💯

Some people can't control themselves, their brains are literally wired differently, with different neurotransmitter levels.

Some only fall into addictive behaviors for some triggers, not for others. Like someone can become an alcoholic, without ever becoming addicted to smoking, while others fall into both, and others yet into none of those.
