I’ve been digging into the rabbit hole for a few months. Been switching to Linux, FOSS everything I can, trying to go to smaller sites, the least dubious social media, VPN, trusted mail, etc etc

But lately I’ve been in a rough state mentally (I say lately but it’s always been with me) and having GPT guide me and being able to just dictate what I think helps me a lot on various levels, for various reasons.
But at this point, using ChatGPT with a mic, isn’t this basically cancelling every effort I’ve made? (using it in the first place anyway) I’m weak and it helps me, should I just throw my efforts out of the window and just say I don’t care about privacy anymore and use whatever everyone uses? (on one hand, I’ve found alternatives for almost everything, so I could keep on using those, but also, again, if I keep on using GPT on a regular basis, this is probably the worst threat the future has to offer in termes of privacy, so…I’m lost)

    “I’m weak and it helps me” Put down the Internet and touch some grass dude. You ain’t weak, stop taking in that cuck incel bullshit. Talking about your shit helps so much that people literally charge money to listen to you. Don’t let the manlets shame you into not seeking the help you need.

    Who cares about using or not using AI dude? The people having those discussions are privileged assholes that have nothing better to talk about. If it helps you be happier, use it. You can pay it forward later.

    Use the tools you need to take care of yourself and don’t form your opinions of yourself based on the bots that populate social media.

    What you do in your own time with publicly available tools is your business, fuck the people who don’t like it.

      Can you maybe not erase how this person feels? Even if you believe they were missguided to the feel this way, that is a terrible message of hostility.

      How about you have some compassion for someone who was made to feel like that??

      Put yourself in their shoes, if they already feel bad you legally then and shitting all over them I’m the most boorish and toxic way possibly is not helpful
