I have ADHD and OCD, which means writing reports, proposals, and even simple emails is very difficult for me in a number of ways. For the last year or so, I tell ChatGPT what I want to say and I work to polish or complete what it gives me, and out comes exactly what I wanted.
I'm not able to do that stuff myself. I'm just not mentally able to do it by myself. I strongly support ChatGPT and will continue to use it as long as I can.
I agree, though, that the data centres are helping destroy the Earth. I don't know how to reconcile that.
you could use an open weight model like Kimi or Deepseek so you're not supporting a company that hoards information
AI as an accessibility tool can be prettt cool.
If it was being sold as an accessibility tool, I would champion it.
But the greedy fucks are selling it as a replacement for expertise.
I've spent decades teaching everyone who will listen "the computer can help, but it does so without any understanding".
But all the tech bros had to do was secretly pass one call in 100 to some random human worker in the 3rd world, and half of everyone is convinced that computers are smarter than humans, now.
The real source of my frustration is that most people are idiots, lol. And I should know that by now.
Anyway, I'm glad you have a tool that helps, and that you aren't attributing godlike properties to it, or selling it hard to idiots as something it isn't.
