Controversial topic, and kinda personal too so I might delete, but I'm genuinely curious what this subreddit thinks.
My mom used to be my go-to person for anything. She has a strong opinion on everything, and she is the type that has vast knowledge on all kinds of various stuff. Her grounded, strong stance on things usually pulled me out of overthinking, or guided me when I didn't even know what to google.
But often times it was so opinionated that it was downright offensive - I learned to not take it at face value and just didn't pick it up, but I didn't realize just how tiring it was - until ChatGPT showed there was another way.
I can go to it without any worry about personal biases or being offended or "accidentally forgetting to mention something". It's not perfect, but it is _so much more frictionless". I just find myself not going to my mom with these things anymore.
Tbh I'm seeing the consequences myself and I hate that this is affecting her. I'm trying to come up with ways to connect more, but a lot of the times it just feels like "intentionally choosing the worse option".
I hate that this is getting between us, but I feel like it's not as simple as "ai bad for relationships", it's "you experienced the good thing once and now the bad thing will never be not bad ever again".
