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.

So, my answer, I use it all the fucking time.

    I have a problem with writing out my thoughts in a concise way that flows well. I can’t think of the correct word. I think it starts with “C”. So I use ChaGPT like so:

    1. I write my thoughts out as a stream of consciousness.
    2. I tell ChatGPt what I am trying to communcate.
    3. I paste the stream of consciousness.
    4. It assembles it as a reply formatted as a message or email.
    5. I read over it to ensure it got everything correct and worded everything the correct way.
    6. I tell it what I want changed or explain why I don’t like a certain part, and it adjusts as needed.

    Then I edit the output as I need. I don’t always do the editing and just send the output, depends how I feel and how well it does. I am thinking I am just going to start appending a default “Due to my brain injury, ChatGPT may have assisted me in composing this message” in my email signature, with a link to a screenshot of my process on imgur or something.

    I look at it like a psychologist or speech pathologist helping me write/assemble a letter. It’s awesome.

    And I can usually tell immediately when something has been written by ChatGPT lol. Unless they’ve gone through and edited the whole thing.
