I’m mostly on your side but I did just cancel my gpt4 subscription.

There’s several factors but the main one is that it just uses a whole lot of power and materials eventhough I don’t really need it.

For example it helped me learn about electronics, and it was effective at that. But I feel it’s more efficient to just buy an ebook. It just feels slightly less convenient, but actually is healthier for my focus.

It’s kinda like with bitcoin. It isn’t a net positive given our current situation.

The other thing it was good at was searching information and providing it in a uniform format, rather than the mess that is the web rn. But installing Firefox and a bunch of extensions solved that. And search engines allow for generating an LLM response when I feel it would really help.
