In the last few months, we have seen the release of many new AI tools that seem like they will make a huge impact on humanity. We have seen the side effects of AI during the release of social media's algorithms. As we approach the second contact with AI, we could possibly see more severe effects, and for that reason I find it important to live a more simple life and not embrace too much of this technology. In this video, I share my survival guide for living a simple life in the age of AI.
Chapter 1: You’re Not Crazy, AI Is Making You Crazy
I think that many people feel crazy in today's world with having increased stress, anxiety, and depression, and I believe that we do not connect this to AI's complex algorithms and the influence they have over us. When you are constantly faced with an information overload, it is hard to not go crazy. As we have new technology advancements, it is important to know that these can harm your mental health and start being more intentional with your consumption of these AI tools.
Chapter 2: Start Your Day From 0-10, Not 0-100
Often, with these AI tools, we start using them the second that we wake up, which is like going from 0 to 100 right as you wake it. If you do not take time in the morning to wake up your mind and have a simple routine, you will most likely be stressed and anxious the rest of the day. I find that the first couple of hours of the day set the stage on how the rest of the day is going to go. If I focus on making the first hours of the day simple, I find that I am less anxious and stressed as the rest of the day goes on.
Chapter 3: The Importance Of Boundaries
These AI tools are so sophisticated that it doesn't matter how mentally strong you think you are, you will be consumed by them if you do not set boundaries. Setting boundaries with these AI tools is important for your mental sanity, and some important boundaries I set are having unplugged time, quitting toxic apps, and limiting screen time. When you set boundaries on yourself, you are recognizing that your mind cannot handle too much of this AI consumption and you are fighting to keep your sanity.
Chapter 4: Taking Moments To Clear Your Mind
When you think about it, from the second we wake up we are stimulated and constantly thinking. These thoughts can compound throughout the day especially as you are using these AI tools. I find it important to take at least five minutes of the day to meditate, breathe, and clear my mind. You cannot think your way out of a problem, and the only way to stop the thinking is taking moments to clear your mind. When you clear your mind, you are able to navigate through this complex world.
Chapter 5: Staying True To Yourself
In today's world it is hard to stay true to yourself because everyone is trying to be someone else. We spend so much time trying to portray our lives a certain way or compare ourselves to other people. As we advance in AI, this will most likely intensify. It is important to accept who you are and embrace your faults and imperfections, so that you stay true to yourself in this AI revolution.
Chapter 6: You Are What You Know
The reason I believe in living a frugal, simple life is because I don't believe that what makes a person a person is about their material possessions or career title. Instead, I believe it is about your personality traits and experiences. AI takes away these very traits that make up what it means to be human. It takes away creativity, perspective, and knowledge. It is important to not embrace these tools too much as you can lose the very things that make you a human.
