  • You say it dictates what you think, do you have difficulty parsing your own thoughts?

    Kind of Supposedly ADHD, anxiety, and other things Dictate via microphone helps in many ways for me

    I don’t think it’s a good tool for introspection

    I don't really use it for introspection, always for information

    Good thinking, thanks, I do still read tho, no worries (might not seem like it in my writing, english is not my first language). I've never been a writer, I'm usually into forms of expression that are more direct to me, like drawing and music

  • If you say it like that...I should certainly try and remember the priorities in some situations

  • Thanks In a way I did still change a lot of habits. This on the other does feel like giving up a huge fight and making my brain think that I actually don't care about privacy/Foss at all, I'm usually not a "all or nothing" type of person, but it's a bit hard to wrap my head around this time

  • Duckduckgo has a way of using AI privately, supposedly. But I'm not sure how much can trust them. Thanks for the suggestion I'll look into it

  • It was not for therapy, be reassured. See my post answer to Telorand @reddthat.com

  • Not saying it's the only option. But it certainly is one, and well, technology evolve, and lures us in seductive ways into giving up on efforts and all...that's the problem I'm fighting against

  • Sorry, lots of posts to answer to, but I've basically answered yours in another post I suppose (Telorand @reddthat.com's post)

  • Those seem like good advice, but when I was saying dictate, I was just talking about sending my requests to the chatbot app via microphone, not writing. I tend to be super adhd-y, forget things, be overwhelmed, get into sideway things, and having a quick way to ask this or that, while thinking out loud, is kinda what helps me. But yes, in a way, some sort of journaling, trying to focus and slowing down would help me.

  • In the end you're right, but as I was answering in another post, AI seems so big for the future and potentially invasive, that if I start giving this up, not having a google account or whatever, to me, would seem like nothing in comparison, if I'm trying to maintain a relative degree of privacy. So I feel like it's not giving up a bit of my infos, but probably all of it, specially when using an app. Not sure if I'm making sense. But it's like "ok, I won't give this man my info". "This other man, on the other hand, can live in my house and listen to everything"

  • I am definitely leaning on AI quite a bit lately. I ask and check sources now and then tho.

    Side thinking, but I'm ot sure how we'll see this problem in the future, when/if AI is "guaranteed" to basically never get things wrong. It's the same with GPS/Maps software, since you're talking about it. I've always been way worse than average to situate myself in space (? sorry, bad english probably), and GPS helps me immensely, me and my anxiety (and even then, I still manage to get stressed and miss things sometimes lol), it's basically right most of the time as far as I know. Now IA being "always right" (let's simplify) would have other consequences entirely, since it touches way more aspects of what we do as humans.

    Not sure what to think from here, but yes, I'm definitely checking sources for important things, and restraining myself to not type every request I'm looking for into a chatbot.

  • I have been suggested to self host in the past. But as I'm concerned for ecology, and let's be a honest, a bit of my money too, I've thought that self hosting, meaning having the PC always on, was not a good thing. So I left the dilemma in this state, not knowing how "bad" this would actually be in terms of electric consumption, and if it was worth the trade with privacy or not.

  • I did, but that's not really the subject. I'm not taking GPT as a therapist by the way, I may have been misunderstood because english is not my first language. But I'm not sharing mental health things with it.

    In any case, I think the problem I'm feeling can be real for many people that are not in mental state anyway. But I totally see why you would say that, thanks.

  • I get that, but the problem with this kind of AI is, I feel like I'm sacrificing a lot, not a little.

  • Privacy @lemmy.ml

    I'm using AI and I feel terrible now

  • Oh, I see Well, as long as they still offer the cheaper option I need, I don't really care, it's not the prettiest sales tactic but at least I can still chose

  • I'm sorry, english is not my first language but what do you mean by advising to stay away from Tuta?

  • What's the alternative on Android tho? (not saying there isn't one, just that I don't know it if it exists)
