Weāre building the official 12 Steps of AI-Holics Anonymousāand I need your help. Read each step below and vote A or B for your favorite in the comments. Let's co-create our recovery program (from productivity, not the tools). š¤š¬ (Choose your preferred version from A or B for each step) --- 1. Admitting the Addiction š
°ļø We admitted we were powerless over prompt tweakingāthat our workflows had become unmanageable. š
±ļø We admitted we were powerless over new AI toolsāand that our sleep schedules had become unmanageable. --- 2. Seeking Sanity š
°ļø Came to believe that a greater stack of tools could restore our launch schedule to sanity. š
±ļø We believed that only a better prompt (or 9) could restore our sense of control. --- 3. Surrendering Control š
°ļø Made a decision to turn our will and our prompts over to the algorithm as we understood it. š
±ļø We turned our lives over to the algorithm, and it gave us 3 mediocre options and one banger. --- 4. Honest Inventory š

±ļø We asked for the strength to stop rewriting the same prompt for the 50th time. --- 8. Accountability š
°ļø Made a list of all the AI tools we ghosted, and became willing to at least give them a proper shutdown. š
±ļø We made a list of all the people we sent unsolicited AI DMs toāand promised to never do it again. --- 9. Making Peace š
°ļø Made amends to our Notion dashboardsāexcept when doing so would break something that still *kind of* works.
