I’ve been using AI chatbots (ChatGPT, Gemini, Vibe and Grok and such) for a while now, and I’ve decided that I’m gonna stop using AI for a little bit just to see what happens.

I realized that I didn’t elaborate on this question, and I apologize for that.

      If you’ve been using AI for a while now you’ll have grown to depend on their convenience, effectiveness aside, the time saved on simple tasks makes them very appealing to just rely on

      Once you stop using them you’ll notice how much time and effort goes into those simple tasks, even just writing a post and finding information on a subject takes minutes, you’ll notice it immediately and you’ll get withdrawal because of the friction in manual work

      So keep in mind that you’re doing this to regain back agency over your life be it in information you gather or work you create and fight temptation to pick the easy way that chains you with dependency
