Completely agree with this statement "Z.ai and their GLM models are pretty low quality." I have been trying out and it's kind of useless compare to SOTA models.
I am also in similar situations. Currently, I stopped using all social media. This video help me https://vimeo.com/97415346 in some way as well. I think its a habit and addiction combination.
I feel like this is testing my English skill rather than my creative skill. Maybe English native speaker might easy to beat no native speaker with low vocabulary skill?
