I used to use ChatGPT for therapy, writing, making D&D characters, silly pictures, handling relationship issues, etc. until I found out how much it damaged our environment and that it was CONSTANTLY FEEDING MISINFORMATION. Also with consistent use, it will destroy your creativity, and you can’t get it fully back. I stopped using it I think over a year ago? It was hard at first not using it but now it’s easy I just use my brain. I have BPD, PTSD, AuDHD, etc

Real as fuck the longer that goes on the less grace i have for people that still use it. It is a horrible technology built on the backs of theft and being used for horrible atrocities (surveillance, ICE kidnappings, apparently now CSAM is legal to make with AI?????) its just overall absolute dogshit. i used to use it to for help with computer shit but i stopped once i learned how awful it was. and now i loathe it so much😭

I'm sorry if this is stupid, but what is gen ai?

Anonymous 7h

I don’t disagree that it’s harmful to the environment and I understand not using it for everything, including school. But if you’re not using it as a tool at all, there are few career spaces I can think of that you won’t be behind in. Regardless of it being good or not, it’s happening.

i think it’s also very important for people to know the difference between generative ai (gen ai) and other ai. Other ai is like a set list of commands and functions that has been programmed to run. It doesn’t take up much water reserves. but as for generative ai? it is an ai that actively learns from itself and the people who talk to it, it takes form multiple resources and gets answers. It’s basically self taught and takes up so much water reserves. I’m not against ai, just generative ai.

was with you until the “i have horrible adhd (that medicine hardly fixes) and i don’t…” there is a spectrum of disabilities that each have a spectrum of symptoms in a range of severities. implying things are somehow harder for you than the average person with adhd or that you’d deserve an accessibility aid more than anyone else isn’t constructive. generative ai is unethical in most current use cases and can be dangerous when incorrect if used as an accessibility aid. that’s enough to say.

Or yknow talk to a dietitian. If your school has a dining hall or a medical center I guarantee they have a dietitian that can teach you. I had a dietitian teach me how in middle and high school in a small ass town because I played sports and if a middle schooler can figure it out without ai you probably can too. It doesn’t just make people dumb but it destroys our planet too. Have fun counting calories when we can’t grow food because of data centers and all starve to death

Im a college student, i dont have time to intricately learn about calorie counting when im already learning how to take care of my body in other ways in deep. You act like this makes me dumb but its JUST calorie counting and ai making people dumb is literally for schoolwork NOT personal use like this

Im researching alongside simply calorie counting. But if you expect me to research every meal? Thats unrealistic. I dont have to use ai, but it helps in ways I cant on my own without extended effort that goes towards better things. Instead of a dietician i can focus on work in that time, workout or do my school work instead of utilizing a tool like ai. Ai is a tool good and bad, to do homework? Bad. To cut time off calorie counting while researching food benefits on my own time? Thats well ok
