Ask HN: Can you cut off AI usage immediately?

I’m bit concerned about my AI usage.

I use AI extensively in my work because it is required and TBH I don’t love my job, so it’s nice to cut off the boilerplates and automate many tasks.

For my personal projects AI is discuss only mode. But I found I learned a huge amount from it, and without it I wouldn’t be able to complete any of my side projects. There is no guarantee that Stackoverflow and Google can reach the same level of help.

I found that I am relying on AI too much. And if somehow ChatGPT (my primary AI agent for personal projects) becomes more expensive or get nerfed, I might be forced to purchase a bigger license. What about you?
