That's my point exactly. Right now there is no lock-in for an individual. You'd have to try really, really hard to become dependent on ChatGPT. So right now is the time to use it.

dependencies have a way of sneaking up on a person. if there was a clear demarcation at which you'd say "they're locking us in: i'm leaving now while i still can!", then that's not the route by which you'll be locked in. yet, even those of us who keep an eye out for these things, we all probably observe ourselves to be locked into one or more things in our life right now: how did each of those happen?
