• You need digital detox. Get the LLM apps off your phone, and maybe get something like this if its affordable: https://commodore.net/callback/

• Sign up for university counseling. Trust me, I WISH I had done this.

• Restrict yourself to "offline" LLMs on your laptop if you MUST use them, with all the search/agenic features turned off. This turns them into more of a utility and forces you to find the references yourself, to actually integrate blocks of code, and so on.

Treat this like smoking or some physical addiction, as that's what these digital addictions are.

Its probably unpopular here, but I'd also suggest you play with a "raw" LLM with completion syntax in mikupad, with the raw formatting tokens and everything:

Among other things, it dispels the "psychological mysticism" around them, and kinda shows your brain what they really are. A weather prediction model, for text. Not "AI" you brain can't help but anthropomorphize.

And:

This is not your fault.

Tech companies spend billions designing the chat UIs to be addictive, just like social media.

You can address it though, even if it feels like everyone around you is compelling you to use. I'm not even coming at this from the anti AI angle either: I've been hacking at LLMs since 2022, but what OpenAI, Google and such have done is beyond fucked up.
