How AI-Brained Are You, Actually?
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini... can't tell if you should ask AI or just text a friend? Six levels of AI dependence — from full analog to full cyborg.
How Do You Actually Use AI? | 32 Types

You have a spreadsheet documenting which AI tool you use for which purpose and when. Strengths and limitations for each, organized by category. Prompt templates sorted by use case, with high-performing patterns flagged separately. Without AI, your workflow structure would look noticeably different. But the system you've built around it isn't a dependency — it's a feature. Building the system was the point, and it's complete.
Anniversary reminders are already in the calendar with lead time built in. Building shared routines with a partner is how you express care — not through grand gestures, but through showing up the same way, reliably, every time. Consistency is the real signal.
Documenting and optimizing work processes is genuinely enjoyable to you — not just something that needs doing. You've measured actual time saved from AI integration and have the numbers. That kind of evidence-based improvement is your natural operating mode.
AI tool costs exist as a named line item in your monthly budget. Each one gets a periodic ROI review, and anything not pulling its weight gets replaced. No sentimentality for specific tools — only results.
