ChatGPT... We gotta stop doing this

I really enjoy bouncing ideas off ChatGPT, but what I’ve realized is... it’s a problem.

It takes away the personality and the creativity in what I’m trying to say.

Also feels a little silly to be like 'ooohhh let me run it by ChatGPT' for like everything? Hmmm...

It feels kinda disingenuous. It dampens my OWN creativity and thought processes... I mean if I'm always offloading things, how will I ever be able to THINK for myself, SOLVE my own problems, CRITICALLY THINK. ahhhhhhhhhhHhhhHhH.

It was able to utilize my ideas, and transform it and structure it in a certain way.

Initially I thought,

"This is great!"

But then, now I'm thinking, oh.. hmmm.. that isn't how I would have put it at all.

Which... I don’t know... just feels kind of weird. Because I want to love it. I like how it makes everything more structured. Maybe it gives it more clarity.

But it just makes it less human. Not fully me.

And pfffffttt... of course it does. It's literally a robot. Artificial intelligence.

But me not using my own brain... It's a scary thought. As it developed (still developing hehe) for a reason!

I WANT TO USE MY OWN INTELLIGENCE
(I mean hopefully I have some)...

So I'm backing off a little for my writing.

But I do think it has its place.
I think it's really helpful, and important, for just the old menial tasks. I’ll definitely still use it for figuring out what plug-ins to use, suggestions for other tools, how to do certain things, SEO optimization and things like alt tags. Even though, actually, tags? I realize that’s part of what I enjoy doing! I like writing silly tags. I've always done this on social media so why not here too. 😂

I realize I really can’t be that bothered with the continual post optimization.

I mean… a little bit. Because I think it’s nice to share things. That hopefully someone will find and be able to resonate with or something I share. But this is me showing stuff, and it's not for clout. Not chasing anything. Just me trying to be me and share what I have to share. so I’m doing it in My WayyYyyyy (thanks, Frankie -- Frank Sinatra that is)

I even told chat 'I think I have to stop using you for posts.'

😂

And it said this:

Aww how lovely, measured and understanding hahaha.

YEAH LET ME BREATHE!!!!

😮‍💨

Ahh. That's better.

But to be perfectly honest I’m also very grateful that we live in a time where we can have this little sidekick assistant thing to help with the little things. The ones that aren’t impacting my essence, things that I can offset, and don't need to use brain capacity for whilst I'm harnessing my inner creative.

Hmmmm.. just curious. Have any of you felt this in some way? That you become a little reliant on these tools?

Anyway… that's is how I’ll be using my good friend, Chat, in the future. A little sidekick. Maybe even just an extra with one single line.

That's the drop.
