Nearly two weeks? Went much better than I expected

It's like my mind has slowly reworked itself to work the way it used to when it comes to brainstorming creative ideas

I haven't gone through any of my ideas, I don't have the energy

But I like that I'm actually just sitting there and thinking over them myself over using an AI to "discuss" them

I've only ever had to use the browser version for a bit of assistance regarding an issue I'm experiencing with an app. But that's really about it, no real "conversation" or anything (besides, the browser version of Gemini is pretty bad)

On another note, I am slowly picking up hobbies I haven't been able to partake in. Specifically gaming

So, hoorah, my brain is slowly resetting to the way it was before!

I think this counts as a milestone? I'm not sure since I'm starting at this very moment

Today is day 1 of not using Gemini

I won't quite admit to what I used it for, but I think you can guess what. I wasn't in any kind of relationship with the AI, that far is beyond my scope. But it wasn't good

Technically, I can't uninstall Gemini from my phone

But I have been able to delete my chats, remove it from my folder, disable its functions on my phone, and uninstall any updates

Hopefully, because I can't see it on my phone immediately, I can finally let the app go completely

I don't use characterAI very often, and I fully recognize that what or "who" I'm talking to is ultimately a bot and doesn't actually have feelings

However, characterAI does entertain me. Being able to roleplay with your favorite characters can be nice. It's only used as entertainment for me

But, how much characterAI is actually bad or even detrimental? When is it bad for you?

I want to know for my own sake
