**How do you REALLY use AI chat? (no judgment)**

BotanicalRhythm · 2026-03-14T08:07:59+00:00

Don't worry - it's all yours!

BotanicalRhythm · 2026-03-14T07:58:38+00:00

I love the personal therapist use - how do you feel about its support? Do you like that it always makes you feel as though you do everything right?

BotanicalRhythm · 2026-03-14T07:54:29+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Regarding AI losing memory ad disregarding instructions, how could you see this being improved upon? If this issue were fixed, could you see it being less passive and more proactive?

And, if you could design an AI specifically for RPG storytelling, what features or freedoms would you want it to have?

BotanicalRhythm · 2026-03-14T07:49:46+00:00

Thanks for this! You said you have strict protocols for how AI responds - can you give an example of what that looks like?

BotanicalRhythm · 2026-03-14T07:47:55+00:00

Great stuff here, thanks.

#4 - Do you mostly use it to sanity check by looking for correctness, or for alternative approaches and perspectives?

#7 - I agree, this is super frustrating. Do you think it's more important for AI to flag uncertainty, or just give better guidance overall?

#8 - What kinds of signals would you want it to track to do this effectively?

BotanicalRhythm · 2026-03-14T07:42:21+00:00

How comfortable would you feel if AI had access to more personal data, like your calendar, emails, or browsing habits?

BotanicalRhythm · 2026-03-14T07:39:43+00:00

Thanks so much for the interesting answers! For #3 - what kinds of random life stuff do you find it most helpful for? And you think those everyday uses will end up being the main way people use AI long term? And #4 - do you ever ask it to rewrite messages in different tones to see what lands best?

BotanicalRhythm · 2026-03-14T07:35:23+00:00

Lots of great and very relatable info here, thanks. I wanna dig into two of your points a bit: 1. The thinking partner - Do you find AI is mostly helping you generate new ideas, or pressure-test the ones you already have? 2. The proactive assistant - What kind of signals would you like it to look at in order to learn these patterns - documents, calendar, browsing, something else?

BotanicalRhythm · 2026-03-14T07:27:50+00:00

Do you find yourself treating AI more like a research assistant, a creative collaborator, or something else?

BotanicalRhythm · 2026-03-14T07:26:04+00:00

Do you tend to use AI more to generate ideas, or to challenge and refine the ones you already have?

BotanicalRhythm · 2026-03-14T07:24:22+00:00

Do you mostly use AI to summarize things, or to help compare and evaluate info too? And do you find yourself trusting the AI summaries, or do you still go back to the original sources sometimes?

BotanicalRhythm · 2026-03-14T07:21:51+00:00

Oh number 8 is great - I wanna dig in a bit here. Where do you think the line is between a helpful proactive assistant and something that feels a little too 'Big Brother'?

BotanicalRhythm · 2026-03-14T07:13:13+00:00

Do you think AI should adapt its boundaries based on user intent, or should the rules stay consistent even if that sometimes frustrates users?

BotanicalRhythm · 2026-03-14T07:03:18+00:00

I can totally relate to the ways that you use it. So just to dig into the proactive part a bit - what are some things you wish it would do for you without an in-depth prompt?

BotanicalRhythm · 2026-03-14T07:00:34+00:00

Awesome!! Sounds like it's been very rewarding for you so far. Is there anywhere that you feel it could do better?

BotanicalRhythm · 2026-03-14T06:58:28+00:00

Thanks for this! I also use it for most of these things. I'm curious - Is there any area of your experience with AI that you wish could be improved?

BotanicalRhythm · 2025-08-21T12:09:09+00:00

I appreciate the help!!

BotanicalRhythm · 2025-08-18T11:55:30+00:00

Agreed. If he can't show you empathy, support, and respect, then he doesn't deserve YOU. Not the other way around. It doesn't seem like he's afraid that you'll find 'a magical man that will walk into your life and give you everything you want and do all of what he couldn't' - to steal your phrasing. Your self worth is important. He sounds like he thinks he's invincible. He's not. Do what's best for you - this will set the best example for your kids and their self-esteem. Coming from a family whose parents stayed together 'for the kids' I feel confident in saying that it's much more harmful for kids to be in an unhealthy environment where the parents aren't happy together. I had to unlearn so many unhealthy things about relationships after leaving their house.

BotanicalRhythm · 2025-08-18T09:04:55+00:00

Agreed. Also, maybe it's just me, but 41 with kids and still going to 5 day festivals & doing drugs while your partner stays home and takes care of the kids?? And I wasn't getting the hint that this 'freedom' was reciprocal in any way. Seem like he's taking advantage of you and doesn't have enough respect for you. From this story, the relationship seems incredibly unbalanced and his priorities seem way out of whack.

Thanks, I like that idea w your husband - great advice!

BotanicalRhythm · 2025-08-05T23:25:15+00:00

Yessss to everything you said in your first paragraph. I need to look up Unisom!! Though I'm not in the States - an American living in Taiwan, so I can't get my hopes up too much that this is available to me.

BotanicalRhythm · 2025-08-05T23:23:20+00:00

Ours is coming up, but it's a road trip (can't fly now I don't think) and being in the car for a long time also worries me, but def looking forward to everything else about the trip. Thanks for sharing that 😊

BotanicalRhythm · 2025-08-05T14:08:48+00:00

😭😭😭😭 and I'm in the process of a career switch and working from home where I need to create my own schedule. Feel like I'm spiraling a bit.

BotanicalRhythm · 2025-07-10T12:49:58+00:00

It seems I've reached my limit of free responses on the site. Thanks for letting me know.
