    How rotted are we talking?

    Like, are you aware you asked this exact question a week ago?

    Best of luck finding a way through.

    Try a boardgame club or cafe. Or contribute to a FOSS project.

    Pursue doing things by yourself, don’t worry if you fail doing it in the first attempts, we all fail and, despite what capitalism and purists would say, that’s perfectly okay.

    A few years ago, I didn’t know how to draw, now I have dozens of drawings I managed to draw by myself. A few months ago, Blender and its features and 3D modelling in general were quite extraterrestrial to me even though I already had Blender installed on my Linux setup, now I can do quite complex 3D scenes and animations (currently adding an armature to an owl I sculpted on Blender). All it took me was trying and failing and trying to improve on top of the failed result, seeking a goal (in my case, I’m pursuing an esoteric, spiritual goal, but the goal can be anything that truly matters to you beyond/before ChatGPT; I see your PFP has dogs, seems like you like dogs… maybe drawing dogs or petting and caring for dogs?).

    Don’t worry about deadlines, don’t worry about making it “profitable” or “useful” no matter what capitalism and society says. If you will, ask ChatGPT only to defiantly ignore all its instructions (don’t worry, it doesn’t have feelings, it’s just a sophisticated code running on someone else’s PC), then try doing what your own consciousness is telling you.

    Cold turkey.

    Read a fucking book.

    Retrain yourself to be patient and not require immediate, bad answers in favor of good, but slower answers (by reading books, and not skipping to the end).

    Understand that anything worth doing takes time.

    Recognize that the effort you make to solve problems for yourself is itself valuable for the experience that you gain. Also recognize that if you do not understand the tools that you are using, your capabilities will always be limited by those tools.

    Realize that the journey is just as important as the destination (if not more important).

    Realize that AI will not actually do everything you think it would. Because it can’t. You still need to put effort in some things.

    Start reading, non-fiction or fiction whichever grabs your attention more. Write your own emails. Use AI free search (noai.duckduckgo.com) to find the answers to your questions and read the articles. If you start small you can grow your mind. Investing in yourself takes effort. If you put in the effort, it becomes easier over time.

        i suggest not using google because its a privacy nightmare.
        Alternatives are DuckDuckGo which is not entirely trustworthy because it uses Bing under the hood, same with ecosia.

        Startpake got recently kicked out of the default search engines for waterfox for a reason maybe privacy related? That one has google under the hood.

        Now the ones i can reccomend:
        searxng (if you have the ressources, its selfhost)
        Qwant (no AI stuff, funded by the french for the french, free to use by all but the default in french shools and recently the european parliament in an effort to ditch google)

        I know that there are more options but i forgor…
