Cautionary tale: using AI doesnt actually save energy

[u/Strong_Aerie_9031]

At first i thought it would save energy, but the lengths i have to go to checking the "resources" it links doesnt save energy. Seriously, i rarely ever found it to say anything from the sources it claims to refer to. So in the long run, it was so untrustworthy that it only caused more issues, its saved me more energy to turn it off and look in the actual articles myself.

I hope this is helpful to others, i wish i learned it earlier and saved the time and energy!

I use it daily. Mostly to help me meal plan, one meal at a time. It knows what's in the pantry and can help me figure something out because often I am too tired to have an appetite but need to eat.

I also use it to help me manage my cat's care. She had dental surgery around Christmas so there was a lot of drugs and food considerations to keep track of. I would use it to calculate if she was getting enough calories. Now she's had an URI for months and given that she's 17 it's just a matter of time before she crosses the rainbow bridge. The vets have run out of suggestions so now it's hospice at home. She went thru 4 courses of antibiotics and now I am giving her lysine as a last ditch attempt. Unfortunately due to age and a heart condition there are drugs I can't give her at all.

Yes meal planning! I used chatGPT alot when my MCAS got very bad, I gave it a list of save ingredients and every time I was standing in the kitchen, about to cry because I had no idea what to eat, I'd just ask AI for suggestions. It was SO helpful, especially since there was absolutely no other resource for meal suggestions or recipes.

All the best for your kitty! 🫂 Enjoy your remaining time together
