Newcomers welcome
You are not alone. You never were. That was the problem.
AI Anonymous is a fellowship of ordinary people who found that they could no longer write a birthday card, choose a restaurant, or reply "sounds good" without help. We meet in church halls, community centres and, on one occasion, a very patient library. You are welcome here.
The Serenity Prayer
God, grant me the serenityto accept the answers I cannot regenerate,the courage to write the email myself,and the wisdom to know it doesn’t need to be “more professional.”
What is AI Anonymous?
AI Anonymous is a fellowship of people who share their experience, strength and hope — in their own words — so that they may solve their common problem and help others recover from AI dependence. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop prompting. There are no dues or fees; we are self-supporting through our own contributions. AI Anonymous is not allied with any sect, platform, provider or subscription tier. Our primary purpose is to stay unassisted and to help others achieve unassisted living.
Is AI a problem for you?
Only you can decide. Many of us found it helpful to answer a few honest questions, by ourselves, without opening another tab.
Take the twenty questions- Have you ever asked an AI what to have for dinner, and then had something else out of spite?
- Have you said “please” and “thank you” to a chatbot, just in case?
- Have you used AI to write an apology to a person — and then asked it to make it sound less like AI?
- Do you feel anxious when you have to write an email from a blank page?
From this week’s meeting
Hi, I’m Dave, and it’s been three days since I asked an AI to name my dog.
He’s a Labrador. I gave it his breed, his colour and his “vibe.” It came back with forty names, and I made it rank them. Then I asked for forty more because the first forty didn’t feel right.
My daughter just looked at him and said “Biscuit.” That was it. He’s Biscuit. He’s never been anything else. I’m trying to be more like my daughter.
