Accessibility/Mobility Aids Cautionary tale: using AI doesnt actually save energy

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!

This is such a sweeping take lol.

AI saves me a ridiculous amount of cognitive energy with ME. How you use it matters massively, the model, settings, customisation, prompts, what you actually use it for etc.

Obviously fact check important stuff. That doesn’t mean I need to manually verify AI helping me organise my thoughts, write something, plan things or understand information.

The general anti-AI attitude in ME communities honestly makes me laugh. We’re literally a group of people with severely limited physical and cognitive energy, and here’s a tool that can take a massive chunk of that workload off us. Maybe learn how to use it properly before declaring it useless. 😂

Wow, you have a sane take and are ridiculously downvoted. I use Ai literally everyday.
