How me and James originally connected was through a Reddit rant about my ChatGPT 'addiction.'\n\nThroughout my time speaking with James (over multiple months). I finished my first year of university (yay!) and finished my last semester without using AI.\n\nAlthough this may not seem like a huge accomplishment, to me it was. I began doubting my own writing skills and felt like I wasn’t able to succeed with ChatGPT. Being able to finish essays again without AI feels amazing.\n\nAs for the tik tok part, I absolutely love it (and still do). It’s how I unwind after work/school and I do spend less time on it now that we’re out of this terrible Canadian winter.\"",
