By skyforbes I also used image creation like midjourney as well. Im an real artist myself and I found using Ai for idea generation helped me a lot. (Im fully aware of the copyright stuff and the artist community hating ai)
I was sold on Ai and I loved it. My partner made jokes and worried I was using it too much, my workplace made jokes I was plugged into chatgpt and I couldn't work without it. And maybe they're right.
I'd say I'd heavily use it for the last 2 years.
But I started to notice something, I feel like I got a bit stupider. My wit wasnt as quick, my mental maths was slower and my writing and spelling seemed to get worse as well. I came to realize that I was relying on Ai too much and now im worried that I've caused some permanent damage or I need to retrain myself in some very basic areas.
Ive since reduced my use by 95% of all Ai, I recognize chatgpt as a tool now and I use it as such.
But yeah, does anyone else feel like they've gotten a little dumber or slower since they've started using ai? Im genuinely interested if people have had negative long term issues.
