I think all Ai content on the web or on YouTube is trash and has no value. But I use chat gpt daily to ask questions and get answers quickly. That part is good. The rest is awful.
I started asking it for recepies in the last month or so, and it's been very useful for giving new recepies and making it easier to try new dishes. Before this I used to rotate the same 20 recepies all the time. Got very boring.
I actually just posted about this. Folks using chatbots for sounding boards. Dangerous territory.
Watch out for your brain. You're eroding it.
Do you think your metacognition is "very high" because the gibbity told you it is? Interesting how it tells you exactly what you want to hear. Almost as if it's programmed for mass addiction. Huh.
I do agree. It doesn't have to be an extreme. I guess if it works for you, great. I still would be very wary.
