AI is making me dumb

I just had to write something about this. To get it out of my system.

AI is making me dumb. Lazy. Unfocused.

I hate it.

I haven't felt flow state in so long that I'm no longer chasing it. It's like I never knew it existed.

Maybe I'm even… happier? In the before times I used to feel bad when I had an unproductive day. And I defined unproductive as not having achieved flow state and therefore not having been able to deliver as much work as expected.

Now I also know when I haven't delivered. But suddenly it's not clearly my fault. I subtly lie to myself saying that the AI just went in a weird tangent or whatever it is.

And here I am, writing this, procrastinating because claude code is taking a long time to finish whatever it was I asked it to do, and I haven't yet heard the beep signaling it has finished, or maybe I was distracted and it sounded a while ago, and it's there just waiting and… what was I working on anyway?

I hate it.

I think I'm going to turn off the router and learn Gleam.
