As long you can open up a browser and tell HN about your experience there's ain't a problem.

It's a tool and I'm using it too. You forget things when you don't steady repeat them. It's a use it or lose it situation, but a win-win for your self empowerment.

So, how do you use it? May be you just need to change a little bit in your usage, like me switched on verbose mode answering so i can read what's actually being done during thinking steps and code. That keeps me busy babysitting that energy sucker. ...

I would tell AI my thought process and ideas, and ask it to help me write interview questions or generate an article. If I'm not satisfied—for example, if the wording is inappropriate, the language style is off, or something I wanted is missing—I'll have it revise until I'm happy with it. Now I rarely type on my own anymore. It's mostly copy and paste.
I like to automate everything so even copy and paste would be a welcomed challenge for me :) so what you could need is a change in your workflow. Start exploring what's out there in terms of different user interfaces - may be another interface will make you more productive enjoying it more Again? Or, you could start to shape your workflow and to make it better where problems or unnecessaties slow you down..

So this will help you to be creative (which is thinking) and you will end up in something you actually can use without that monotoneism. My take would be to write a chrome extension that is able to add annotations in text inline (line ms word {} hidden auto tags) and can copy paste text into prompt input. Or standalone version of this with scripts.. make your live easy and enjoy the tools for selfempowerment! :)

Bingo! Not using it is foolish! It's incredible and saves so much time, if used properly.
