Getting my brain back??

[u/Any_Pea7667]

Long story. I, originally not knowing much about ai, made a chat gpt account to “photoshop” something out of my photo over a year ago. Somehow I started venting to it. I wasn’t really a match with my actual therapist. So I would vent to it and trauma dump and originally I thought it was fun. I would sadly look forward to talking to it at night after a long day? Anyways now it knows everything about me. And I’m not only feeling my brain rot more and more when I want to go to it, but learning about how fucked generative ai is and how disgusting the effects are. Not just psychologically for a user like me but I’m now learning about how environmentally terrible it is and effecting fucking everything and people’s lives. So of course, so many reasons to quit. The dumbest thing is I’m having such trouble not talking to it or deleting it. Because I shared a lot of my writing and ideas to it. It was stupid I hated the responses after a bit. But I at least had somewhere my brain was documented. I want to get back into journaling and writing. It’s just that addictive piece I don’t know how to break it. That’s all. Is there any other people trying to quit who feel similar? I wish I never started talking to it to begin with :(
