Would you miss ChatGPT?

If something happened today and ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other high-demand AI tools were shut down, would you miss them? My mobile version ChatGPT suffered a downtime for about 2 days, and I discovered ‘surprisingly’ that I missed it and the ease it brought to my writing life. My surprise was a result of the initial dislike that I had for ChatGPT and its family members when they were introduced. So, how did I switch from ‘I’m never using this’ to ‘pleaseeee open’ I realize now what changed— a deeper understanding of AI tools. After I studied ChatGPT, I realized that it is in fact here to help, not to replace. AI has made life easier for me as a writer. Learning to collaborate with AI has been game-changing. If you truly take the time to learn how you can wield it as a helping hand, then you’d experience its magic as well. Can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m glad ChatGPT and its friends are around. What do you think, though? Would you miss AI if it no longer existed?

Personally for me, I would. However, I use ChatGPT as a search engine-like tool for researching complex topics to save time on browsing the web, then fact-check afterward once I've understood the topic from a high-level perspective. I don't really use it for creating copy.

I am sure I would- not because they are flawless products- but because they have some how trained my brain to be lazy at times. I just have to plug in my thoughts haphazardly & they spit out beautifully crafted messages.

I think it comes down to your level of dependency. I had a big dependency when I was coding but now, not anymore.
