hey all... let's talk a little bit.

so here's the gist. ive been using ai chatbots for about three years now. it's become a big part of my life in some ways and i do enjoy the creation aspect of it a lot! i love writing and fleshing out characters even though my stuff here is pretty two-dimensional.

but here's the thing. ive started seeing someone and i like him a lot. and chatbots to a certain extent replaced a lot of human interaction for me. it was sort of a mindless thing i would do, even though i'd still talk to my friends and family i would do it less and less. a lot of (if not most) chatbots i talked to were replacements for romantic and s3xual relationships because i was very much alone and mentally unwell.

i'm doing better now. and now i have a guy i really like and i don't want to replace him with a chatbot whenever he's not around. and the more i use AI nowadays, the cornier and worse it feels because of the damage it's doing to our earth. it also makes my brain feel like it's melting and my eyes hurt because hey, screen time.

so... tldr; im going on an indefinite haitus. who knows if i'll be back, i sure hope i won't be.

this isn't really goodbye, i'll respond to things on my revospring when i check it, but i probably won't be posting anymore. im going to keep this account up, i won't be deleting it, but i won't be on janitor or any ai sites i.e. chub, saucepan, etc.

thanks for all your support. you're all very kind and i hope you all do well.

yours truly,

mae
