I’ve been digging into the rabbit hole for a few months. Been switching to Linux, FOSS everything I can, trying to go to smaller sites, the least dubious social media, VPN, trusted mail, etc etc

But lately I’ve been in a rough state mentally (I say lately but it’s always been with me) and having GPT guide me and being able to just dictate what I think helps me a lot on various levels, for various reasons.
But at this point, using ChatGPT with a mic, isn’t this basically cancelling every effort I’ve made? (using it in the first place anyway) I’m weak and it helps me, should I just throw my efforts out of the window and just say I don’t care about privacy anymore and use whatever everyone uses? (on one hand, I’ve found alternatives for almost everything, so I could keep on using those, but also, again, if I keep on using GPT on a regular basis, this is probably the worst threat the future has to offer in termes of privacy, so…I’m lost)

    You say it dictates what you think, do you have difficulty parsing your own thoughts?

    Kind of Supposedly ADHD, anxiety, and other things Dictate via microphone helps in many ways for me

    I don’t think it’s a good tool for introspection

    I don’t really use it for introspection, always for information

    Good thinking, thanks, I do still read tho, no worries (might not seem like it in my writing, english is not my first language). I’ve never been a writer, I’m usually into forms of expression that are more direct to me, like drawing and music
