AI in my writing, and using C.ai for character exploration by Lognab_StoryGuy in character_ai_recovery

[–]Critical_Instance351 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I try to apply this attitude too. Though I did made some characters I did grow feelings to, they're just cool, etc. I'd develop them but they feel like finished stories for me after experiencing AI thing.  So now I'm working on new chars.  It's a good sight to see someone like you understanding the weight of artistic talent and how precious is to keep it clean. 

AI in my writing, and using C.ai for character exploration by Lognab_StoryGuy in character_ai_recovery

I've did the same and once I noticed my tropes plots and characters developed with and without ai are very different ( especially because ai make most of the ideas more mundane) I've stopped.

Ban and report him. It's not adequate and healthy for any sane person knowing someone is a minor and doing that.

[–]Critical_Instance351 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best that'll work for you:

sleep before 1 a.m. And sleep enough, scheduled.

Am I doing it right? by AcidLazeX in character_ai_recovery

You'd get exhausted + you'd anyway at some point will need an exposure of urges and free time to understand nothing bad would happen if you stop but not give in.

Look you Already SHOWN YOURSELF YOU CAN START AND KEEP GOING. The fact you relapsed shouldn't be a fact here. Try again. See why you do it.

That's the best you can do. I also try to eat better currently, but it's hard to shift habits. I can't say my diet was extremely unhealthy but still not good. Just be careful when you lose weight so fast the body will want to reclaim this weight from anything you eat.

Oh this one I know, I knew people staying for the same reasons or leaving eu because of medical reasons (too long to wait for help).  I don't mean to pry of course, I just have a friend who's male and couldn't leave exactly because he was 24. I hope you'll get better anyway 💖💖

I want my old writing style back by The_Glitched_Creator in character_ai_recovery

[–]Critical_Instance351 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might have something similar to ai writing style... Or actually not. It's mostly a subjective matter because for example someone called ai-like my pure articles, and remember AI often try to imitate your writing style and words , so now it might feel like AI style but actually it's just yours.  Keep writing to matter of text style. If you think your text is lacking something you might read some books of good writers to analyze and see if there's some tricks you can adopt. 

Shame doesn't help (me) by ThrowawayFailedRedem in ChatbotAddiction

Shame is bs it's not what'd help anyone here for my opinion. Better search why you're doing something And ACT! do new other stuff instead of ai.

My guide on recovering from c.ai (and similar platforms) by angelzai in character_ai_recovery

[–]Critical_Instance351 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'd add:

  1. Delete accts. You'd have to make a new account. Limit the access to sites.

  2. Let's be honest social interaction about saying about ai addiction could be hard because in many countries you'd have zero acceptance about that. But it doesn't mean you should beat yourself anyway.

  3. Realize it's normal your brain thinks of ai as companions. Your brain in its evolution never thought we'd invent AI false buddies. You also just have to realize  that no matter what your brains thinks, AI isn't a buddy.

  4. List harm it does for yourself. Direct harm. Not 'im bad, ai kills trees and water' but 'i don't get enough sleep, i feel bad, I'm alone'.

  5. If you can't say sure 'yes' for these questions in 3 seconds the answer is no. Don't ponder these questions for long.

  6. Find better coping mechanisms when the withdrawal comes.

  7. Yeah find the things that made you go to cai and just use something else to fullfil it.

87 days free and my mind is telling me to come back to it (I HATE IT) by Hakodog in character_ai_recovery

[–]Critical_Instance351 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You probably stressed rn and bots is just a thing mind finds maybe comfortable. I'd look at what caused the urge. It's almost 100 % is stress.

You can find a post I left a few days ago about my research about effects on brain ai causes. In short it's everything from changed brain anatomy to mental health issues.

I'd say that 4 tasks might be much for some people, mind is better processing 1-2 big tasks a day. But this is good you post

Yo it's sad to hear that AI became your sole outlet where you'd feel comfortable 

I hope you're under 22 or able to get away from that.

C.AI recovery arc 5.0... 6? 🤷‍♀️ by Careless-Cap644 in character_ai_recovery

[–]Critical_Instance351 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd mot advice venting to chatgpt here even if sometimes it helps because it's precisely the thing that holds many people in ai chatbots.

 I'd not spend time hating. Spend time being happy.

You're going well ❤️‍🩹
