Hey fellow humans, I want to share something I tried for the last 100 days. If you don’t know what an AI negativity detox is, it is a period of time in which you avoid engaging with AI negative content. I didn’t think I was a negative person myself when I started, but I just liked hearing people’s opinions on AI. <br><br>Now, I never went full into the anti-AI camp but clearly was leaning left. I was interested in all sides of the debate but always found myself drawn to anti-AI sentiments. For example, I’d listen to podcasts about anti-AI sentiment from all political sides. I’d see videos of people talking about negative effects from AI, I’d read comments on Reddit and just liked hearing the things people had to say. <br><br>Fast forward 3 months to today, I read very little news about AI but watch videos of people talking about its positive effects. I love hearing people’s stories of AI soliving problems for them. My mind changed 180 degrees. I now think that as long as we are watchful, I believe that AI has the potential to be the best thing that ever happened to humanity. Our future is bright. <br><br>Edit: I read a lot of news. I just choose not to have a negative slant. I like to hear the news as well as the stories of people who have used AI in creative ways. I think negativity breeds negativity and positivity breeds positivity.
