It is just so easy, I know exactly what I want, I know how to make it appear, even though I know how to write it myself and I know it is good for me to do so, as I start typing my brain just goes into 'why are you spending time doing this, you could be doing the next thing, lets get this quickly and move to the next thing' and all of a sudden…

What is your motivation for using AI despite the tension you feel? Pressure at work? Feeling the utility is just too good to say no to? Do you feel you're getting what you want out of your effort still?

If I sat down to read War and Peace and it slowly morphed into a film adaptation and eventually morphed into tik tok I'd be pissed. That is often how I feel when I try to use AI to learn or create.

Thanks for sharing. >as I start typing my brain just goes into 'why are you spending time doing this, ... I think this is what they call "cognitive offloading" which leads to "cognitive surrender." Doing things that require effort seems to be something that you use or lose. As you say, it's addictive to want to avoid effort if you can, and it…

I cannot resist the tempation, sorry. If I sat down to read War and Peace and it slowly morphed into a fim adaptation than a TikTok version of a film adaptation, it might still be an improvement over «War and Peace». (Yes, I have read it.)

In E Unibus Pluram, DFW says: > But something is malignantly addictive if (1) it causes real problems for the addict, and (2) it offers itself as relief from the very problems it causes. A malignant addiction is also distinguished for spreading the problems of the addiction out and in in interference patterns, creating difficulties for…
