Asking it for guidance on distancing myself from human connections faster, and eroding critical thinking skill to the point of not remembering why I needed it in the first place.

My life goal is to not be able to maintain a relationship or even interact with someone who tells me I am wrong.

If I have some time to spare, I'll use it to convince myself that reality itself is incorrect and I have a novel theory to disprove gravity.

I use it as a way to relieve myself.

I ask it really simple questions like, "what is a hamburger?" and once it explains what it is I tell it that it's wrong and that its "a tool used to hamburger nails into wood".

then it's all, "that's a hammer." and then I'm like "wrong again! a hammer is male genitalia."

I do this over and over until it sticks.

Making AI slop posts to pollute the internet with garbage and crowd out any useful information.

I have since many years back documented most tasks in a digital note taker app. Over the years I've transferred them between systems, right now they're in Nextcloud.

I also have configured a local AI on the server and since Nextcloud has built in support for using local AI it has now indexed all my notes so I can pose queries to a local AI that has all that info I've ever written down backing it.

"When is it time to re-apply for the garage building permit" and "Which one of our kids was the tallest at birth" are examples of questions I can now do.

To remind some words I've forgotten. Like when some word is at the tip of your tounge, but you just can't recall it. I describe it to ChatGPT and it seems to figure it out on the first try.

Other one was physique feedback, mostly because I'm really bad at assessing slow and subtle changes and physique changes are exactly below my detection abilities. Yeah i can see the difference between pictures taken years ago and now, but pictures taken at the beginning or end of each bulk/cut phase are almost the same for me.
In addition to fixed data, GPT can point out those changes, give some feedback if some part is lagging behind and ground me if I'm beating myself too much up on how badly any phase went.

I would be really cautious in giving any biometric data to OpenAI.

Bodyweight and a physique pictures aren't really that unique or special data that they could use

[–] spectrums_coherence@piefed.social 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I am sure food company, dietitians, nutritionists, and companys that offer weight management products will beg to differ.

Fair point, but all the ad space or at least whatever gets through is already filled with fitness products due to using the internet to search information about it so adding some more useless fitness products in there wouldn't be noticeable.
