Goes back to intention: why am I sharing this note or essay? Who am I writing for? Will this detail bring me closer or further away from The One? It’s important to hold the nafs in check and sm is a playground for the nafs

Alhamdullilah, someone who is an influencer and much smarter said this in a conference. She asked, why are you posting? Ask yourself before you put any content out there. May our words be heavy on our good scales!!

There is no problem with bringing good intentions to online platforms however, it's important to understand that these platforms are not necessarily designed to reward those with good intentions but rather those who are profitable. This often includes individuals or entities that contribute to many social and psychological issues, as documented in various books, studies, and court cases. We can cultivate our deeds in the platform—may Allah preserve our intention—but it's essential to recognize that the system is rigged from the outset.

Thank you for your kind words! I chuckled while reading your question at the end.

I believe ChatGPT can still be useful for simple fact-finding or brainstorming, but when it comes to talking about your feelings, go get your friend!
