The author reflects on their changing perception of AI: initially amazed by ChatGPT's ability to write an article in seconds, they now rarely experience those "wow, I didn't think of it that way" moments.\n\nUsing a 3D printing example, they asked ChatGPT for practical advice followed by personalized suggestions based on memory, but the results remained mediocre—ideas they could have come up with in a few minutes themselves. The author doesn't think AI has degraded, but wonders if their own usage patterns have shifted, seeking advice from others on how to regain that feeling of being "inspired".
