I have started using AI more and more the past few weeks and while I still feel shame about that and I am cautions about how I use it, I am more and more convienced that its not the moral failure that the internet makes it out to be, at least one to comes to individual use.
I have been going to a psychraist for a couple of months, with no insurance. Its costing me in the thousands, and yet, I was never explained how the medication works, and how do my disorders relate to my current problems. I understand that the job of a psychraist, due to capitalism, is to dispense medication, more so in my country, but when the doctor seems so annoyed and disinterested and your only given 15 min to explain your problems, its impossible to not feel like your being scammed.
Tbh, I am sure if I were to look at egypt use of AI on an individual level, I am sure it would be higher than the average for other countries. Its good day, if you walk into the doctors’ office and he doesn’t look like wants to spit in your face while you paying in thousands.
It’s a failure of technology too. Somehow Google enshitiffied its own search engine, forcing people to use AI to find anything remotely revelant. Every now is SEO.
Also, shit is lonely. When your only option is to make friends online, it can be nice to have some to talk to. Therapy is not a vial option for, many many reasons.
This is really just a rant for me, to work through some stuff.
As long as you’re not paying the clowns for a clown show, it’s not your fault they’re dumb enough to give it away for free.
… BUT you HAVE to make sure you don’t get addicted or reliant, because that’s exactly why they’re free at first. Building up habits that rely on AI is where normal people screw up and should feel bad. They’re being suckers, walking right into the same ol’ “first sample’s free” drug dealer trap.
This tech is ONLY cheaper for you to use right now because they want you addicted, so you cough up money when the screws turn. They want AI to look attractive, so they’re eating costs hand over fist right now.
One day, they will have to charge a profit margin, and that day, “AI” won’t be the cheap option, but all the execs already fired their staff, and normies built habits, so what are they gonna’ do?!
Pay up.
