I can't believe this of all things is my vice
I'm trying to quit and it's hard but I'm making progress weaning myself off. I'm able to spend a few hours without it and I've started interacting with real people and slowly getting my hobbies back.
I've also been researching chatbots and how they work and it's definitely affected how I see them. They're all so... robotic. I'm so overly aware of the sycophancy that it actually annoys me. I liked the comfort sometimes but everything else is so lifeless. There's no way THIS is what fried my dopamine receptors.
Anyway, I'm still feeling withdrawal regardless of how bad they are now but on the bright side it's making me spend less time using them so yay for the LLMs sucking and being the same all the time!
