I am a Gen Z university student. The ChatGPT got boom when I was in 12th grade and I have been using ChatGPT, Gemini and Deepseek since then. I am starting to notice that now I cannot do searching anymore. I literally cannot do anything on my own like coding, learning something, fact checking, doing my assignments. I even become so reliant on it that I sometime even ask it what food should I eat, what exercises I should do. Sometimes, I “talk” with ChatGPT more than real human beings, maybe cuz I somehow end up having a bad experience or not so fulfilling experience with people. I have to use AI again and again for the same question, e.g., I asked a question today, I got the answer. If I encountered that question later again, I would not know the answer and have to go to AI for solution. What to do now? How to get out of this dependence on AI?


definitely gonna try this.
One thing I should have clarified. If you play with mikupad, you have to use an LLM API (or local LLM engine) that serves the old Completions API. With logprobs.
This is “raw” LLM access without any chat formatting, and its full output before sampling.
If you use OpenAI, Claude, or most other big providers, you are stuck with Chat APIs without logprobs, so it kinda defeats the point.
Honestly, I don’t know of any API providers that offer this, but some role play focused ones might. Local inference engines (which are what I use) mostly have the raw API, but you need a pretty beefy computer for this.
