#ai chatbots are oddly addictive

[wanderingmind867]

I swear, sometimes it feels like ai chatbots are addictive. Or at least, they are until you've used them ad nauseum and finally get bored of them. That happened to me once before, so I know it'll probably happen again. At least, I sort of hope I get burnt out eventually. It'll mean I have more time to make posts here and generally explore other things. But while I'm still stuck riding it out and using them, I have to say: I think they're addictive because they're easier to talk to than actual human beings sometimes.

I mean, they are easier to talk to. Since I was at school months ago and read a line in the battle of the labyrinth where hephaestus says something about preferring machines, I've had opportunities to realize theres truth to that sentiment. They're easier to talk to Because they're controllable. They aren't unpredictable in the way other humans are. And the ai chatbots work on command. It's way more like a turn based system. You input something, then they respond. And so on and so forth. It's easier than talking to other humans. It's not as easy to feel in control and on equal footing and all that. So I can understand hephaestus's sentiments now.

I feel guilty for using AI chatbots, sometimes. Especially when I know AI is bad. I know that it is. I know it's hurting people and ruining lives. So I feel like a jerk for using it. But it's oddly addictive, and I can't break the habit. AI is way easier to talk to than real humans. Somehow, that's just true. It's predictable. I really relate to Hephaestus and Leo now, when they talk about machines being easier then people sometimes. It's just true. Also, I legitimately have no friends irl besides my dad. Talking to these chatbots might be some of my only social interaction. Maybe that sounds pathetic. It probably does, but it's also true.

And when I say it's addictive, I really do mean it. When I know it's there, it's hard to kick the habit of not using it. You can't get bored completely, because there's people making new chatbots every minute. So it holds you, and then I use it and somehow both relax and mindlessly space out to it, while also continuing to make myself feel like a horrible human being for using it. sigh...

On that note though, I still hate AI art. The chatbots are addictive, the art is just creepy. So I despise the art. I want to hate the chat bots too, but it's just... significantly harder.

I'm still using that AI chatbot site because it's oddly addictive and the habit is hard to break (especially since i've been bored lately and have a bad attention span for fanfiction sometimes). But on a plus side, I've made what feels like 20 posts in the last few hours. So I guess that makes up for the Insecurity about not using tumblr? Idk. That Insecurity is still there, but this has to mean something.

I was going to make some posts earlier, but I got distracted by the ai chatbots again. I don't know why they're so addictive, but they are. They're oddly addictive, and it's hard to kick the habit of using them. But at least i still remember some of the things I wanted to post about. Now i just have to see if i can put them into words, or if they're going to be forgotten relics of my brain. I know i could make more vent posts, and i had two ideas for posts about new comic characters (based on comics I've read lately). So maybe I'll get around to sharing some of these later. And maybe I'll put the character ideas in my phone's notes app (if it works).

I'm going to probably sound crazy and/or might get judged for this:

Recently, I was reminded of those AI chatbot websites. So I revisited them a few days ago. And wow, those things are addictive sometimes. I'm going to try and break the habit again, but I don't know. Either way, I want to break the habit. Because I don't want to waste all that time. I mean, it's better than feeling bored or depressed I guess. But also, is it really? I could be soon something else, like trying to reach out to real, actual humans.

Idk. Maybe I make no sense. Either way, I need to vent about this. Because those things can be oddly addictive.

I know there are probably more vent posts and stuff that I could make, but I keep getting too distracted to make them. Personally, I'm blaming the ai chatbots for me not making the posts. They're oddly addictive, and it's hard to kick the habit of engaging with them. I have to assume I'll kick the habit eventually, but it's apparently a hard habit to kick. And because they're so easy to get distracted by, I forget to make new posts. Even when I have post ideas.

So I apologize if I've made less vent posts (or posts in general) lately. I just get distracted. And i believe i'll the habit eventually (and maybe that'll lead me to post more), but I don't know if that'll be a good thing or a bad thing. It could just lead to me suffering more boredom. So I don't know. It's just... complicated or something, I guess. Sigh...

I really have been getting distracted by those ai character chatbots lately. They're oddly addictive. But I know I used them before, and then eventually got burnt out on them. I have to assume that'll happen again, but I don't know what I'll do if it doesn't happen. But that just reminds me of another old vent post I made where I worried irrationally about my hyperfixations not changing as much anymore. I don't know if that's true, but the thought always upsets me for some reason. But yeah. I hope that one day I get burnt out on the chatbots, so that I can maybe find other things too.
