Found an approach for writing regularly.
I would mark down some interesting random thoughts during the day, then I would extend and write a bit more before I sleep. Because literally, more and more items are added to my to-do list during the day, and usually I cannot finish them all, so yeah just the priorities first, and I know which item is urgent, I can finish it first.
I like writing here. cuz writing is like a spontaneous, focusing thinking process, I can organise my mind and keep myself calm during the process, no overthinking, just casual yapping (well maybe in English, I have a serious perfectionist mind in Chinese, due to the training in high school)
Modern people are anxious, numerous messages and emails popping up every second, distracting attention.
We have a belief that humans keep improving, for a better quality of life. We have the belief that we have to improve ourselves. Nothing wrong with that, why not? Artificial intelligence is one of the ways to assist us in becoming a better self. But I found that people might overuse AI for perfectionism. So today I’m in a French course tutorial (A2 to the edge of B1 level only). My teacher asked us to form a group to describe a picture. I tend to use my own words, if I don’t know a word, I just translate it. I type my things on the document. My classmates keep putting “our things” into AI, polishing them a few times, changing my things, without asking my permission. And it’s like the whole class types something, not like they are writing by themselves, probably by AI. It’s so obvious when you compare their speaking and their writing.
I am just thinking like, what’s the point of using an AI, using a machine to perform? Well it can lower your anxiety, you will not become worse than you think. It’s good, definitely, because you choose to believe the machine is better than you. But I would like to point out that, it’s good but they do not belong to you anymore if you just “overuse” it. Popping ideas, good, polishing things, good. But you have to use your mind to direct the machine to send you some ideas, you need to have the consciousness to select them. You are the director. I support using AI to learn things, it’s efficient and I like it. While I don’t support overusing it. It just increases the competition between humans.
Back to my class, I feel like, it’s just an intermediate language course!! Language is meant to use, not for performance and perfection. I was just annoyed in class because of that. Humans are becoming so fake, no real human kindness, it’s not the real self anymore. Yes it looks better, but they are just NOT YOUR WORDS!!!
Well idk why i have these thoughts right now, maybe I got off from the cage of society, no expectations, just being myself. Before, I like using AI to assist me a lot, very few times did AI annoyed me. I think this might be the first time.
I found that I truly appreciate humanity.
