Can ChatGPT help with ADHD paralysis?
ADHD affects an estimated 4.4% of adults in the United States, is typically characterised by a complex set of problems: distraction, impulsive behaviour and hyperactivity. So how exactly does artificial intelligence help solve this problem?
The r/ADHD subreddit talks about how ChatGPT helps with sorting emails, generates pleasant-sounding responses, generates prioritised to-do lists and helps overcome ADHD paralysis, which is characterised by the inability to do anything.
Copy and paste your to-do list or what you are avoiding and ask the AI bot to break it down into smaller steps. You can also ask the AI to highlight the most important tasks and remove the unnecessary ones. However, human views may differ from computers.
Using the AI assistant to help you break down the task feels like doubling your body, which gives you extra motivation to get the job done. ChatGPT can also come as a memory device, as the tool can record past conversations and generate subject labels for them. That way you can, for example, brainstorm and chat with ChatGPT as if you were talking to a friend or colleague in your industry.
For Braden Motion, a 23-year-old software developer with ADHD who does music and writing, ChatGPT has been a useful tool for generating ideas and practice guides.
People with ADHD can have a hard time sticking to new activities, Motion notes, especially when success in a hobby or career choice requires planning and work-as most do. "You can ask ChatGPT how to accomplish something, like writing a novel or starting a successful company, and get a blueprint of the whole process.
It doesn't guarantee success, but at least you'll have the instructions! "I've also used ChatGPT to find a job or career that works best for me based on my individual needs and ADHD symptoms." When you're struggling to overcome your fear from scratch, tools like ChatGPT can be extremely helpful, opening doors for creative work.
