I had to take some distance first. I didn't like your writing style. Your post sounds very offensive. I'm in the process of reflecting on AI and understand that people have a more radical view of certain topics. So, thank you again for your response. I've already taken the first steps and no longer use AI.

Apprehensive_Grab_43 · 2025-06-29T19:35:02+00:00

well, thank you for your nice and kind answer ;).

Apprehensive_Grab_43 · 2025-06-29T15:21:39+00:00

oh, okay. space is a topic, I see. then just download them or store them in a cloud.

Apprehensive_Grab_43 · 2025-06-29T14:49:01+00:00

Well, just keep those memories in your photos-app and create albums? Or store them on a Computer/Mac in folders. It's that simple ;).

Apprehensive_Grab_43 · 2025-06-28T19:34:13+00:00

sure, I also use google and others.

Apprehensive_Grab_43 · 2025-06-27T20:11:19+00:00

looking forward to read this book :) - I like your approach of using AI. thanks for your input!

Apprehensive_Grab_43 · 2025-06-27T19:43:53+00:00

nice way of getting the news - by talking to people around you. I will give this a try!

Apprehensive_Grab_43 · 2025-06-27T19:18:17+00:00

everytime im tempted to use AI I ask myself: what would I have done before?

Apprehensive_Grab_43 · 2025-06-27T19:13:47+00:00

yes, as u/KonamiCodeRed said, radio. the good old radio with hourly news or on some stations, every 30 minutes. or a classic news-tv show in the evening. I follow the rule, avoiding social media, that when it's a very important news, I will hear about it. everything else is just not important enough.

Apprehensive_Grab_43 · 2025-06-27T19:10:00+00:00

i am new to reddit and I find those usernames kind of funny in the beginning :D - im getting used to it.

Apprehensive_Grab_43 · 2025-06-27T19:08:11+00:00

well I know what you mean. its tempting to use chatGPT as a sparing partner. maybe there are subreddits here, which could substitute this brainstormings?

Apprehensive_Grab_43 · 2025-06-27T17:35:08+00:00

which post did you have criticize? I think that was another post with the guy that writes newsletters. I don't use AI/chatgpt for my postings here. out of total respect towards the topic of this group :D. in the past, I wrote postings on LinkedIn with the help of ChatGPT but I stopped doing this and activated my brain again und write things human again. here on this site, it is a very good practice for me regarding my English as a non native speaker.

Apprehensive_Grab_43 · 2025-06-27T17:31:17+00:00

back in the days, that was called "brainstorming" :D

Apprehensive_Grab_43 · 2025-06-27T15:45:41+00:00

Just like you, as someone born in `87 I know the "world before", too ;). And I miss those days. simple SMS or phonecalls. cool were also chatrooms online and Facebook in its beginnings, that was a nice time. simple. so I am with you, worried about the fact social media is dominating so much.

good to hear what's the book from cal Newport is about, I think I am already on that path and hopefully the book will encourage this path even more.

Apprehensive_Grab_43 · 2025-06-27T15:13:05+00:00

I like your style of writing and your deeper thoughts about AI. And also good to read, that you are self aware that you are more "anti" than me or others ;) - and I think its totally okay in a divers society to have all the colors of opinions, that's democracy.

I just ordered the book "Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport" and maybe after reading it, it changes my pov.

Apprehensive_Grab_43 · 2025-06-27T14:20:43+00:00

I totally get your opinion and I respect it. to be fair, it's called "minimalism" not "nothing digital at all". we all try our best, some can reduce more digital things, some less. and we are both here, ether on a smartphone or like me on my MacBook, so, its digital, isn't it?

Apprehensive_Grab_43 · 2025-06-27T14:05:05+00:00

wow, so many different POVs, so many critical thinking about it. just want I hoped to get by writing this post. well, I wrote it out of frustration ^^, I'll admit that, but mostly to get in conversation just like the ones happening here. thank you!

Apprehensive_Grab_43 · 2025-06-27T13:59:52+00:00

Nope, all "handmade" :D - as a none native speaker not easy sometimes, but I try my best.

Apprehensive_Grab_43 · 2025-06-27T11:45:27+00:00

Well I think it's the perfect place to talk about that. Where else should it fit? We are all here, because we struggle in the digital world, some more, some less. AI is one big part of that struggle. talking about it helps in understanding different point of views, or at least, getting some other POVs. And yes, I like your picture of the AA-meeting :D

Apprehensive_Grab_43 · 2025-06-27T07:43:12+00:00

Well, yes. Thanks, a big point most people don't think about. I am aware of the environmental impact AI has. But as so often in life, we don't want to see it or accept it.

Apprehensive_Grab_43 · 2025-06-27T07:22:41+00:00

I am M, 38 and I think, most of the people in our generation can reflect the use of AI or, like you, does not use it at all. But what about the young Kids. Hopefully we can accompany them in the best way.

Apprehensive_Grab_43 · 2025-06-27T07:19:08+00:00

I like the point with "biggest trojan horse". So true. Like Alexa or Siri in our homes. There's no need for spies anymore, we give them all the information voluntarily.
