Hi everyone. I'm a senior Computer Engineering student and my girlfriend is a senior Mechanical Engineering student.
She is caring, cute, clever and really thoughtful. I love everything about her. But the one thing that always bugs me out is the amount of AI she uses.
When we met 2 years ago the first topic we talked about was about AI and ever since that day I always mentioned her the advancements and dangers of AI. I said how there can't be ethical AI and any use of it is harmful.
She agrees with me every time and says she will decrease her usage but at the end she uses it still. Projects, reports, homeworks all go through the LLM. She shows me her work and I can't congratulate her without forcing myself because I know it's AI.
She has diagnosed ADHD and I think this might be one of the reasons but I still don't understand. She sometimes spends hours working. If she had spent that time with pen and paper she could've reached the same conclusions she did with AI but with more understanding of her work.
I don't want to upset her but also seeing someone this close to me do this is saddening to me. What should I do? Should I just ignore it?
Replace "uses AI" with "is an alcoholic" and follow similar advice.
I'm anti-AI but these two things are not remotely similar. You can't slowly Claude yourself to death over a number of years as your friends and family are forced to watch.
Wut? That's what I see in a lot of my friends on instagram. Which had lead to a lot of suicides.
And it's the same with AI chat bots. I've completely lost some friends. When I ask then a question, they just paste it into their chat and paste that slop response back to me
The first step is admitting they have a problem.
See that's where I'm going to disagree with you. I can name a handful of people who are logically dead already. Tons of people have destroyed their lives (and lost their lives) due to the psychosis they were allowed to build up while conversing only with AI.
South Park had a pretty entertaining (fictional) demonstration of this
I really have to find a way to catch up on that show, I hear they now call it South America.
AI psychosis is a real thing, and multiple people have committed suicide because of it.
There are lawsuits against AI companies for those deaths.
So yes, you can in fact "Claude yourself to death".
