i need a chatgpt detox lol. im trying to write a template for investooorr updates and it just spat out 30 irrelevant metrics

🕯️They/them. Scaled cos from 0-$300k in arr, 7-35 employees, 0-100k users. Now I make candles that give people love, joy, and delight at humankind.place

I know a lot of people love using LLMs for everything, but the more and more I used them, the more they remind me of owning a car. You just spend so much time frustrated. Like I sold my car to bike everywhere and only use a car for specific tasks, I think I'm going to find myself doing things slowly and manually by choice, and only picking the LLM when I really need to go a long distance in a short amount of time or carry a LOT of stuff.

writing stuff about tech + decentralization

Yup exactly I’ve been using it to reduce my cognitive burden but I sense it reducing my capabilities

Yeah I’ve been driving too much and I need to walk lol

There's some preliminary studies to suggest that, but don't get me wrong. I love some of what they enable as well. I just think we're overreliant on them. Like—to keep with the car metaphor—if you're just going to the corner store for some milk, it's probably better to just walk.
