How often do you use "AI" to reply to your messages, if at all?
The recent chat bot advances have pretty much changed my life. I used to get anxiety by receiving mails and IMs, sometimes even from friends. I lost friendships over not replying. My main issue being that I am sometimes get completely stuck in a loop of how to formulate things in the best way to the point of just abandoning the contact. I went to therapy for that and it helped. But the LLM advancements of the recent years have been a game changer.
Now I plop everything into ChatGPT, cleaning out personal information as much as possible, and let the machine write. Often I'll make some adjustments but just having a starting point has changed my life.
I tell people I have "phone anxiety"... but it sucks. Family, friends, new acquaintances... it doesn't matter, trying to reply or answer a phone can feel like torture sometimes. Have absolutely lost a few friends over this. You're not alone
