My GF uses AI (lemmy.zip)

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?

You can say the same about any creative commons media they may have swallowed. There are copyleft forms of licenses for all creations in all domains. By using LLM generated content, you're using that training data.

Keep backpeddling all you want, I demonstrated one of tbe many ways that LLMs create inherit and tangible harm as asked.

As for this guys girlfriend? I'll refer to my first comment. (Admittedly edited a coupla mins after its original posting, so ya nights missed it):

That being said, yeah that's rough and you're probably gonna have to just accept it if a coupla conversations aren't doing it, because trying to 'fix' your partners like they're a project is both unhealthy and condescending.

    I wasn’t asking for an abstract concept of how LLMs can cause ethical harms, I was asking how this person ever made the case that his GF’s particular use of AI was causing ethical harm. As I said in my last comment, responding with esoteric random arguments (arguments, not facts, I still remember when ‘theft’ required actually having to lose property) is not how you resolve a dispute in a relationship or a difference of opinion. I’m not backpedaling, you just demonstrated exactly what OP is doing and why it isn’t relevant to the situation.

    There are copyleft forms of licenses for all creations in all domains. By using LLM generated content, you're using that training data.

    If you create with an LLM you're relicensing work under an incompatible license.

    Even if you do release under a copy left license, which one do you use? Many of them are incompatible. No matter what your breaking someones terms (or you would if AI companies wherent allowed to get away with murder.)

    Again, as someone with publicly released works under copy-left licenses, that is doing anyone who's contributed to such works, in effort or donation, a tangible disservice.

    Unless your work is so fucking innately important as to be above that issue, like improving quality of life for someone who's disabled, or curing some horrible disease, I don't wanna fucking hear it. Using LLM's to create is unethical.

    I don’t know what you’re talking about anymore, I’m sorry. You even quoted yourself, to demonstrate how much I think you’re just talking to yourself at this point.
