I found the post to be useless. As a cherry on top, empty blog. I wonder who are the people who have nothing to say, then they post like one silly piece of word salad, then they don’t post for years again. I’d prefer reading someone who actually posts regularly, and is able toto communicate their mind clearly.
Here … I mean, why did you start so many projects, and why did you abandoned them? I too have an ADHD, like many others these days, I believe. Yet, for me, a GPT allows make progress when I’m stuck and don’t know where to start to continue working on my abandoned project. The massive improvement to me is the ability to communicate. To have my mind written, the problem clearly formulated. I have never paid for any subscription and I would never pay them. It would be less convenient when this shit won’t be given for free to folks like me. By that point, I expect I’d just run some less powerful local model. The value I get is from the ability to communicate and have feedback, sometimes (oftentimes) on topic. Yes, it’s slop. The longer the chat, the sloppier it is. But I usually have up to 10 messages conversations, and I use it only in my browser, for like an hour or two a day, tops. Most times, it’s much less than that. About 4 hours a week, summarised.
I usually hit the free limit with Claude and that’s where I stop. I almost never hit that limit with ChatGPT for some reason. Weirdly, Gemini was absolutely useless to me. I tried it thrice and never opened it again. I have no use for it.
I am not that good to juggle gazillion of projects and languages too. So I don’t. I work on one project, sometimes two or three, but they are highly related, they are almost the same, or solve the same thing from different angels.
I’d love to discuss it, but this particular piece has zero value. To me, there’s not much to discuss.
And, it’s irrelevant to my ADHD. Perhaps because I actually do something with it, and I have no Instagram, Facebook et al. I don’t doom scroll, so the dopamine is here only when I’m able to write some tiny helpful script with one prompt. When things go into some complex work, a GPT always produces incredible useless shit. So, I’ve learned there’s no point in using it that way. So, I use it with very small tasks only.
There screens simultaneously, I can only laugh at these delusional folks who believe they’re being efficient.
