I think they create addictive behavior (pretty sure there’s research on that) and I’m a victim of it. I feel like I need to maximize every 5 hour window. I structure my life around that:
- “before I head out I’ll just give it this big task that’ll max out my tokens”
- “i have to set up a loop to keep working all night before I go to bed”
- “how’s my usage right now? Can I ask this now or should i wait 2 more hours?”
- … etc. As Claude would write it: this is not healthy — it’s a toxic dependency on AI . Add to this that the “sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t” thing is a literal slot machine that only lets you play every 5 hours (unless you pay extra). I’m sure others have complained about this too but I just find it so absolutely outrageously wild, insane and misanthropical how the usage model of AI has been designed in the most toxic way possible. I wish someone were able to change the system someday. (For context, I’m on the Pro plan) submitted by /u/ACMCMC
