  • So many times now, it seems any time I ask someone to write anything for any reason, they just instantly give up and ask ChatGPT.

    I’ve explained to a few people now: AI in its current form is at best a hammer. You can use it well or poorly, and it doesn’t work on everything.

    This being said, it’s a wave. This has happened about a dozen times in the past with different technologies. They thought human knowledge was on the decline when we started writing books because we would no longer have to remember the words.

    I do think it enables already lazy people even more though.




  • It’s going to sound dismissive, but I don’t go to others. I’ve found in my times of feeling the most alone, the only thing that allowed me to feel different was introspection.

    I do absolutely understand the primal desire to be around others for support, but self-sufficiency and finding satisfaction without the help of others was my only way forward.

    It wasn’t so much that I needed to change or that I was doing something wrong, but I forced myself to focus on those feelings and try to understand where they were coming from and learned that other things in my life gave me that satisfaction. For me, I make art when I’m feeling the most alone because it allows me to express that feeling.

    Another thing that may come across as harsh is that you’re the only one in charge of your own happiness. If you feel like none of your friends are supporting you, it’s up to you to go out and find new people to fill their space.

    Friends that are only there for you when you’re feeling good are not friends.
