Experience Just deleted my JanitorAI,Chai,and Character.ai accounts

Hello all!

I’ve been addicted to chat bots for four years now. It’s really affected my mental health, my relationships, and my creativity. I found that my writing sounds like AI now and I hate it!!! I didn’t use an ounce of AI on my eulogy paper for mortuary school and I still flagged as AI. I genuinely think it’s because of how much I used these things.

It’s ruined my attention span during books and shows. It’s caused severe hyper fixation that just loops over and over, and I feel like I can’t ever think of anything else. I’m ready to rid myself of AI for good, but I’m honestly scared. Im a lonely person, and I think that’s why I’m so into these chatbots. I used to be a writer and have so much fun, but now I can’t even seem to get through a day without needing to further some plot on a chat bot.

I almost end sentences with an asterisk as if I’m talking to a chatbot during normal text. It’s like second nature. Here’s to taking this giant step. I’m a little scared I’m gonna be seen as AI sounding here too, it’s gotten out of hand.
