🔗 The Imperfectionist: Let’s stop talking about A.I.

AI’s the core subject of this article but it was this part about overthinking that got me, well, thinking:

Whatever the details, this is where overthinking kicks in, because it feels like the solution to the anxious feelings in your body is to scurry off into your head and think some more, read some more, argue some more, maybe use A.I. some more.

I see this in a few people I know, including myself. And it definitely is a protection mechanism. The quote comparing it to an addiction was a powerful realisation to me.
