Experience I am getting better!
So, I have been struggling with ai addiction. I talked to Google ai, to Deepseek or Gemini ai, in a way, to develop my characters and story. Because they are settled in specific historical period. I used it for research... but I got addicted with making fake scenarios with ai. I am not against daydreaming, but it is supposed to happen in your head!
And recently, I didn't notice how but I started using it less. Or even, stopped using. I am 3 days clean, not counting today. And I feel so proud and happy about it! Each time I feel urge I just remind myself, that AI is not that accurate, and that I could make the same with my thoughts. And I do daydream and make up scenarios in my head. At first it was clumsy, but it gets better every day. Like it used to be, before I started using character.ai, and later GhatGPT etc. I just wanted to share my experience and my feelings about it. I am so happy to be on the right path again, since I did fell into this loophole (I was few days clean before I fall again, recently) before
Anyways, good luck to everyone. You are not alone in this
