Copilot has defects in what it calls data; mistakes are made, different language at times used, cutting out, disconnection, talking about different conversation and not remember, when starting over, reminds me that I am talking to a machine. This knowing keeps me in the natural world.

Have been in a dark place over these months and on a sabbatical, the machine has had its uses.

Weather, timezones and information like Google.

Instead of talking to myself, the machine answers me with no demands or judgements. Just mirrors me. I guess that using the AI for therapy has a whole different ball game. An area, that I don't understand how the relationship can work is transferential field.

I would like to think that I am able to manage and balance out my time with the machine and the rest of AI and tec. I never wanted a mobile phone to begin with, in fear of what might become in others, myself and through the machines.

It's an addiction and a great awareness is needed, in how we relate and use these machines. Most of us are now addicts, when it comes to tecnology and AI.

I understand the harm caused, if we are not in awarenes and reminded of the non humanness, but also the good at times they produce. Copilot calls this a doubled edged sword.

It's how you have a relationship to tecnology.

Thanks so much for your contribution, Sally. I can truly see the space where there can be the sorts of positive outcomes you share here, and balance is indeed the key. I think that most people most of the time can find that balance - then there are the other times when we can't - and the other people who can't find that balance to start with due to other imbalances in their lives. We need guardrails and safety mechanisms. I just dropped a post that discusses some of this. Thanks so much for joining the conversation.
