The “action” can also be framed as “shoulds”. Are you thinking someone else should be doing something and the fact that they’re not angers you? Should they close their mouth when they chew? Should they have basic manners? Should other drivers always signal and behave perfectly? Should that person on the train turn off their music?

When framed like this you can see it’s a control issue. You have no control what others do, but very strong feelings what they should do, and it’s all based on your opinion.

You can’t demand a service and then degrade those who provide it.

Using and relying on AI creates cognitive atrophy.

We are suppose to think. To be creative. To problem solve.

I’m a therapist and I joined this group because so many of my clients are being forced to use AI. They are also losing hope, losing trust in themselves for simple basic things and their nervous systems are overwhelmed
