The analogy makes a lot of sense to me. Once you have an "easy button", it's hard to not use it. It's sort of like when you're at work and see the "quick workaround" effectively become the standard process.

I remember burning out on games because the cheats made them really fun in the short term, but afterward playing normally felt like agony.

I decided to use GPT to help me with gaming, specifically when I had little to no clue what to do or where to go.

What I did was write instructions in my prompt, asking it not to be too specific and not to give me a straight answer. Sometimes, I even asked it to be intentionally cryptic. That way, I could still make progress without ruining the fun, since the vague hints still left room for me to figure things out on my own.

Basically you ignored out all the hints the game gave you, and asked Chat-GPT for it instead.

..., specifically when I had little to no clue what to do or where to go.

I think you missed that part of my comment.
