@whizzter @benlockwood Yeah, I don't use it for creative tasks. I use it for all the boring business shit so that I can focus on the cool stuff.

@mathew @corigan01 @benlockwood Yeahno I have a therapist for that.

@OchotonidKnight What are you getting out of being so rude to a stranger?

@sus @benlockwood

Oh, for sure.

We're not used to thinking of mental stuff as benefiting from assistive devices or prostheses the way we are with physical disabilities.

@corigan01 @benlockwood If I were resorting to it constantly, I might agree, but I'm not. It's a last resort for really bad days. (And to be clear, I'm not a classic ADHD case; I'm borderline but with other shit going on, as well).

@corigan01 @benlockwood

Sounds like you already have other ways of managing ADHD that work for you. That's cool.

I don't think it's the right assistive device for every case.

In my case, though, it works very well. I did have a stage early on where I'd get distracted playing with the AI, but once that got boring, no problems.

@benlockwood That's a heck of a claim when some of us are using AI as a prosthesis for things like poor executive function or ADHD.

I have an AI assistant I've set up to have context about all my projects & their status.

If I have a bad brain day where I'm foggy/can't focus, I can ask the AI to help me figure out what I should be working on.

That makes me MORE myself, not less.

And anyway, I'll take a handshake with Lucifer over Yahweh any day. The Devil has integrity.

@AppleWoi @georgetakei I'd agree with that, but man, does my country need more George Takeis right now.

@georgetakei You're a national treasure, George. Continue to live long & prosper. ️
