Hello, good afternoon everyone. A few days ago, there was a post here in the community that caused me a bit of an emotional shock.
I was personally thinking that by using ChatGPT to "add value" to the community, I was doing something good for it, and to a certain extent, I was doing it as a positive thing. But thanks to several forum members, I realized that I wasn't really doing anything for myself, and that I was actually delegating my own growth and my voice to the model.
It was a reality check I needed. It wasn't about not using tools, but about not hiding behind them.
I realized that if I truly want to contribute something valuable, I must first dare to make mistakes, to write in my own words, to think from my experience and my ideas, even if they don't always sound as "perfect" as a well-designed prompt can generate.
That's why I want to redeem myself and start building from within. Stop using ChatGPT as a creative crutch or a voice that speaks for me.
From now on, I commit to writing more from who I am, to failing more if necessary, but to truly growing. To share my own ideas, to make mistakes in public, and above all, to stop fearing the judgment of others.
Thank you to those who made me see this—perhaps unknowingly—and thank you also to this community for being a place where one can stumble, learn, and try again with more authenticity.
@028559d218 Thank you for your insistence
@TotallyHumanWriter Your words were like a boxer's punches.
@DarthCoin Your meme really made me think, believe it or not.

Thanks to everyone, although perhaps for others they continue doing things and don't care about criticism, behind this pseudonym there is a person who has reflected on their comments and wants to do things right. not for external approval, but out of respect for oneself and what one shares. I realized that hiding behind a pseudonym shouldn't be synonymous with hiding from the responsibility of thinking for myself.
Not everyone will react the same, and I know this space is diverse, demanding, and often brutally honest. But that's precisely why it's worth it. I prefer now to be an active part of it with my own mistakes than a spectator copying soulless formulas. Sometimes you need that "blow" to wake up.
So thank you, sincerely. Thank you for not sugarcoating your words, for pointing out what I didn't want to see. From now on, I want to be part of the community with my own voice. And if I make a mistake, let it be because I try with authenticity, not by repeating something that didn't come from me.
We'll keep reading.
