I see “AI” and “David” and i gotta comment 😂. Great post as always.
I find myself loosing my ability/confidence in judgement with my over-reliance on AI. I've been using it to make even simple decisions, such as what food I should eat. Recently, it suggested that I leave a jacket behind in order to decrease my weight on a biking trip. Unfortunately, it was really cold in southern Japan this year, and I ended up having to buy more layers. When I frustratedly confronted the AI on this, it said, “I'll own this mistake. let's work together to remedy this”.
It was an emotionally mature response, but still something didn’t sit right with me. AI was taking the responsibility for the mistakes that I have ultimately made. I relied on the AI too much instead of treating it like an informative friend. Often, it gives me different options when i ask for its opinion on something, then my next prompt is “you decide for me” 😂
It highlights for me one of the beautiful aspects of life, which is to take responsibility for your decisions. Ultimately, our life is made up of our decisions. And although the weight of deciding how to shape your one life can be heavy, of course, it is our greatest gift. I have since shifted my view on the mistakes ive made in my life. They now feel important and precious. With every misstep i take, I stick out my chest and say, “these are my poor decisions and I own it”.
Whoever makes the choice, carries the responsibility. There are so many choices we have to do on daily basis, that it feels liberating to release part of that burden onto something.
Every choice defines us. Avoiding choice is a form of self-abandonment.
Quoting Dumbledore: “It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.”
I'm happy that you chose to comment. Hope you are doing well :)
