[Day 2] Was a good day

In effort of not giving up on just day 2 here's the update.

The storefront design went well. My bosses and colleagues liked it. They just need some minor updates and a mobile version of the design (which I am totally not procrastinating by writing this). I started working on my first 'official' blog today, one that I am actually putting in efforts to write and not just handing over to ChatGPT. I also explored a couple other LLMs and yeah, it's difficult to choose one, they all have their share of good ideas but ChatGPt has the edge so far, purely because it knows me so well now.

I have been realizing a sort of over-reliance on AI though. I almost never wanna think on my own now. It's good to have a brainstorming buddy that knows literally everything but it's making me rusty in the one area that defines me as a designer - my thinking. All AI knows is something a human already came up with, so actually original and creative ideas I will have to learn to hunt for solutions on my own. The hand-holding has to stop but I don't really know how, especially now that I have taken a keen interest in learning more about it. I think this series of notes will be the only thing that I truly created myself today.

I have to learn to think.
