菸癮以外：靠 AI 共創社交儀式 (Beyond Smoking Addiction: Co-Creating Social Rituals with AI)
一種虛幻的幻覺與社交活動，它讓參與者沉迷於一種虛妄的幻覺之中，儘管它並非生產性活動，卻產生了一種令人著迷的細絲。這種活動的影響如煙霧般籠罩著參與者，很多人因此染上了這種壞習慣，就是抽菸。
菸草這一活動的範疇非常廣闊，我將在這裡討論個人抽煙的原因以及可能的替代品。
抽菸的原因千差萬別，每個人都有自己的理由。有些人可能是從社交場合開始抽煙，逐漸形成了習慣，將抽菸與特定的活動、場地或一群朋友聯繫在一起。每次抽菸，他們會想起那個場地、活動或朋友，這些回憶會在他們心中引起漣漪，帶來幸福的感覺。
還有一些人抽菸是為了應對壓力和管理情緒。他們認為菸草中的尼古丁可以稍微緩解壓力，讓他們放鬆一些，就像按下一個小小的放鬆按鈕，產生一種舒緩感。有些人在吃飯時中途會跑出去抽菸，因為對他們來說，抽菸是社交場合中獨特的體驗。
當大家聚在一起享受美食時，有些人可能想稍作休息，喘口氣。他們可能想要一些獨處的時刻，遠離社交環境，享受寧靜和放鬆。久而久之，抽菸成了一種習慣，與吃飯或社交活動聯繫在一起。你可能會看到某個人總是在吃飯後立刻跑出去抽煙，這種習慣讓他們感覺自己參與了抽菸的儀式，同時享受著屬於自己或他們小圈子的時光。
抽菸作為一種社交活動，具有幾個特點。首先，它創造了一個與小群體外獨立的時間和空間。其次，抽菸活動具有一定的排他性，不是每個人都能參加或願意參加。當有人出去抽煙時，其他人可能會認為自己可以留在原地吃飯和聊天，並不願意參與。那些出去抽煙的人會覺得自己特別，因為只有他們可以選擇參加或離開。無論如何，這種既能離開又能擁有自己空間的感覺，讓抽菸的人覺得自己很酷，並想像了他們的社交資本有所增加。此外，抽菸活動本身具有儀式感。例如，抽菸時可以深呼吸並吐出煙圈，這種動作有指示性，就像在進行一種禮儀。這個活動將這種吸入和吐出的過程視為一種儀式，好像自己是一條龍，可以展示龍息的技巧。
然而無論如何，抽菸都是對身體不好並有害身體健康的。因此，我希望 AI 能幫我生成一些替代這個抽菸的活動。我和 AI 進行了一番對話，AI 一開始建議了一個名為「Zen Circle」的活動，它專注於心靈寧靜和互動的小型聚會，提供獨特的社交體驗。這個活動融合了禪意、瑜珈呼吸法和共鳴儀式，參與者輪流發表詞語或短句，其他人聆聽共鳴，共同融入集體能量。
然而，我認為 Zen Circle 過於注重心靈層面，類似靈修活動，不太能替代抽菸活動的社交性質。於是，我希望能在飯局或晚宴中頻繁舉辦、門檻較低的活動，一個類似吸煙的活動，讓人們能夠在約 5 分鐘內完成。AI 明白了我的需求，提出了一個名為「心靈寶盒」的活動。
「心靈寶盒」是一個裝滿小紙條的盒子，上面寫有各種主題，例如生活中的小快樂、給予與接受等。在活動場地的特定角落，人們可以從盒子中抽取紙條，並分享和交流自己的意見。我覺得這活動有些像互助會，無法完全取代社交性質的吸煙活動。
我向 AI 提出希望這活動能夠在一個飯局或晚上內頻繁舉辦，並且門檻較低。AI 則指出這不是一個娛樂活動，而是一個輕鬆的呼吸活動，類似於吸煙。於是他提供了「心靈鬆風」、「心靈寫作」和「共享心靈短語」等活動選項。
「心靈鬆風」啟發了我一個點子！我問 AI：這個活動能否讓人們在 5 分鐘內思考給 AI 的提示，然後 AI 或繪圖機器人根據這些提示生成特定結果。因為之前 AI 提到心靈寫作需要準備一個主題。我認為使用提示卡的方式太麻煩了，因此希望活動只使用 CHAT AI 和 AI 繪圖機器人，幫助有吸煙習慣的人創造一個所謂的「菸癮相簿」，即用想像代替實際吸煙過程。
想像吸煙過程對於從未吸煙的人來說是不可能的，因此這個活動具有排他性。然後，人們可以生成圖像來視覺化他們的想像，並在 5 分鐘內完成。這種活動具有儀式感和產出，吸煙時只是吐出虛無飄渺的煙，而現在想像吸菸則可以生成一幅能代表自己的圖像。
人們可以創建自己的「菸癮相簿」，就像達成一個里程碑一樣。CHAT AI 提供了一些刺激和有趣的主題，如「煙信號」。參與者可以根據煙霧的形狀、方向、顏色以及煙的升起過程來創作菸癮相簿。他們可以將煙的形狀聯想到物體、動物或抽象概念，然後使用 AI 繪圖機器人繪製。
此外，「菸癮相簿」的創作主題還包括「煙藝術」和「煙的故事」。參與者可以根據煙的紋理、輪廓和不同的顏色技法來填充這些情感。煙在升起的過程中可以成為一個故事或場景的象徵，描述煙的變化如何反映人物情感事件的發展，或描繪奇幻世界。
儘管我覺得這些想法非常棒，但我提醒 AI 如果人數超過一個，就必須要有互動了，並請 AI 提供多人版本。AI 回應說，可以舉辦一個「菸癮相簿創作聚會」，邀請一群人來共同創作。他們可以共同建立一個粉絲專頁、Instagram 或其他社交媒體平台，並發表他們以香煙為靈感創作的作品。在戒煙的過程中，每當他們想抽煙時，就可以創作一幅圖像，表達他們對吸煙的想像、煙本身和戒斷時的情緒，並將其視覺化。
多人版本的目的是營造互動和合作的氛圍，讓參與者能夠觀賞、交流和互相啟發。通過 AI 繪圖機器人，可以輕鬆將每個人的創作視覺化，使整個活動變得有趣且豐富。
如果這個煙癮相簿能透過想像來替代吸煙，那將是很好的替代方案。

A fictional illusion and social activity that immerses participants in a false delusion, despite it being a non-productive activity, it generates a fascinating allure. The influence of this activity envelops participants like smoke, and many people have developed the bad habit of smoking as a result.
The realm of tobacco is vast, and here I will discuss the reasons individuals smoke and possible alternatives.
The reasons for smoking vary greatly, as each person has their own motives. Some may have started smoking in social settings, gradually forming a habit that associates smoking with specific activities, locations, or a group of friends. Every time they smoke, they recall that place, activity, or friends, and these memories create ripples in their minds, bringing forth a sense of happiness.
Others smoke to cope with stress and manage their emotions. They believe that nicotine in tobacco can alleviate stress to some extent, providing a sense of relaxation, as if pressing a small relaxation button, generating a soothing feeling. Some individuals may step out for a smoke during meals because, for them, smoking is a unique experience within social gatherings.
When people come together to enjoy a meal, some may desire a brief break or a moment to catch their breath. They may seek a moment of solitude, away from the social environment, to relish tranquility and relaxation. Over time, smoking becomes a habit associated with eating or social activities. You might notice someone always rushing out for a smoke immediately after a meal, and this habit makes them feel part of a smoking ritual, while enjoying their own time or time with their small circle.
As a social activity, smoking has several characteristics. Firstly, it creates a time and space separate from the small group. Secondly, smoking activities have an element of exclusivity, as not everyone can or wants to participate. When someone goes out to smoke, others may choose to stay in their place, continuing to eat and chat, unwilling to join. Those who go out to smoke may feel special because they are the only ones who can choose to participate or leave. In any case, this sense of being able to leave and have their own space makes smokers feel cool, and they imagine their social capital increasing. Additionally, smoking activities have a ritualistic aspect. For example, taking deep breaths and exhaling smoke rings during smoking is a gesture with symbolic meaning, as if performing a ceremony. This activity turns the inhalation and exhalation process into a ritual, as if one were a dragon, showcasing their dragon breath skills.
However, smoking is detrimental to health and harmful to the body. Therefore, I hope AI can help me generate some alternatives to this smoking activity. I had a conversation with AI, and it initially suggested an activity called “Zen Circle,” focusing on inner tranquility and interactive small gatherings that provide a unique social experience. This activity combines elements of Zen, yoga breathing techniques, and resonant rituals, where participants take turns sharing words or short phrases while others listen and resonate, collectively immersing themselves in collective energy.
However, I felt that Zen Circle was too focused on the spiritual aspect, resembling a spiritual practice, and couldn’t fully replace the social nature of smoking. So, I expressed my desire for an activity that could be frequent and have a low threshold, similar to smoking, during dinner parties or gatherings. AI understood my requirement and proposed an activity called the “Soul Box.”
The Soul Box is a box filled with small pieces of paper with various themes written on them, such as small joys in life, giving and receiving, and more. In a specific corner of the event venue, people can draw a piece of paper from the box and share and discuss their thoughts. I felt that this activity resembled a support group and couldn’t completely replace the social nature of smoking.
I presented the idea to AI that I hope this activity can be frequently held during a dinner party or evening, with a lower barrier to entry. AI pointed out that it’s not an entertainment activity but rather a relaxing breathing exercise similar to smoking. As a result, AI provided activity options such as “Mindful Breathing,” “Mindful Writing,” and “Sharing Mindful Phrases.”
The idea of “Mindful Breathing” sparked an idea in me! I asked AI if the activity could involve people thinking about prompts given by AI within 5 minutes, and then AI or a drawing robot generates specific results based on those prompts. Since AI mentioned that Mindful Writing requires preparing a theme, I thought using prompt cards would be too cumbersome. Therefore, I hope the activity only utilizes CHAT AI and the AI drawing robot to help individuals with smoking habits create a so-called “Addiction Album” where imagination replaces the actual process of smoking.
Imagining the smoking process is impossible for those who have never smoked, making this activity exclusive. Then, people can generate images to visualize their imagination and complete it within 5 minutes. This activity would have a sense of ritual and output, as smoking only results in exhaling ephemeral smoke, while now imagining smoking would generate an image that represents oneself.
People can create their own “Addiction Album,” similar to achieving a milestone. CHAT AI provides stimulating and interesting themes such as “Smoke Signals.” Participants can create their addiction album based on the shape, direction, color of the smoke, and the process of its ascent. They can associate the shape of the smoke with objects, animals, or abstract concepts, and then use the AI drawing robot to draw it.
Furthermore, the creative themes for the “Addiction Album” also include “Smoke Art” and “Smoke Stories.” Participants can fill these emotions based on the texture, contours, and different color techniques of the smoke. The smoke, as it rises, can become a symbol of a story or scene, describing how the changes in smoke reflect the development of characters’ emotional events or portraying a fantasy world.
Although I think these ideas are fantastic, I remind AI that if there are more than one participant, there must be interaction, and I request AI to provide a multiplayer version. AI responds that a “Addiction Album Creation Gathering” can be organized, inviting a group of people to collaborate. They can collectively create a fan page, Instagram, or other social media platforms to publish their artworks inspired by cigarettes. During the process of quitting smoking, whenever they have an urge to smoke, they can create an image to express their imagination about smoking, the smoke itself, and the emotions during withdrawal, and visualize it.
The purpose of the multiplayer version is to create an atmosphere of interaction and collaboration, allowing participants to observe, communicate, and inspire each other. With the AI drawing robot, it is easy to visualize each person’s creations, making the entire activity fun and enriching.
If this addiction album can replace smoking with imagination, it would be a great alternative solution.
