I mean Fuck AI, but no contact over car advice seems a bit extreme
EDIT: OP should spend more time with his mother and less time in the internet.
Sounds like a troll post
rage bait
OP’s mother made her choice.
I suspect here we have a slop-licker who wanted to show how “crazy” the anti-LLMbecile crowd is by telling a story that is literally insane and expecting to get upvoted.
And then got downvoted to perdition.
Suuurrrrreeeeee you did.
what car?
Ended up choosing a RAV4
thats a great car, whats the issue with her using AI to buy it?
Outsourcing your opinions to the stochastic parrot is bad.
Humans will always take the easiest course and the path of least resistance
That’s a bad thing.
That’ll teach her!!
There’s certain age group that reacts in this way to everything and they think it means they’re standing up for their values. Bit of a rebel without a cause (clue) situation. I have a kid who hasn’t spoken to us for almost a year because his 33 year old brother bought a pistol. OP’s mom is now asking AI, “WTF is up with my kid?”
This persons comment history indicates this is likely a lie/bait: https://lemmy.world/comment/24226662
I don’t know the full situation with your kid, but that seems unusual if there is no context being left out. Acting like it’s an issue with an age group going no contact over “everything” is really disingenuous though.
Yeah. I’m sure it’s clickbait, but since comments here don’t earn anything, i don’t mind responding to it.
It’s super unusual. The last conversation was- 'How could you let him buy that?" “He’s a 33 yr old man. We couldn’t stop him if we wanted to.”
My comment was poorly worded, out of frustration with my own situation and things I’ve read online about it. I didn’t mean everyone in that age group, but there’s definitely a demographic with whom it’s more common.
That’s fair.
I also think it’s a fair assessment to say that younger gens are doing it more. I think in part it’s because there’s been a big cultural shift in such a small time period and a larger portion of the younger population has moved with it. It’s hard to act lovingly towards people who are in your view unrepentantly supporting backsliding on centuries of progress.
I obviously have no details about your relationship with your kids, and I know you didn’t ask, but it’s possible he’d be interested in explaining his thought process if he felt you’d be receptive to hearing him out. At least you’ll know why he blamed you for something you were powerless to stop. I’m always sad to hear about people going no contact because I have and I know how hard it is. The people were such big parts of my life and though I have gotten to a place where I don’t long to repair the relationship, if they reached out and I felt like they came with an open mind and an open heart I’d be glad for the chance. Sometimes it just takes someone reaching out. Maybe your son doesn’t feel the same way, but good luck to you both.
Well, while I don’t think cutting communication is the right way of doing things in the OP’s case, I think it can make a lot of sense in the case you described.
A crazy thing to think for an American, but it can be very anxiety inducing to be around people with guns. If that’s the case, finding out your family member, someone closeset to you, bought a gun may very well trigger a very defensive response.
I get that. He’s been around guns a bit- not a lot, but several times. This is a small pistol that you would take camping. I grew up in the country and we had a similar one that we took when waking in the pasture in case of snakes or wild dogs. His brother does not carry it around. It’s kept unloaded and locked in a case, taken to the range for classes or practice, and then returned to it’s case. He doesn’t talk to us, but maintains contact with his trumpster racist ‘Christian’ in-laws. I’m proud of him for helping his wife keep a good relationship with her family despite their differences, but disappointed that he won’t do the same for us.
If the gun is treated like the hazard it is, I doubt it’d be the sole reason for such behaviour. Maybe he is just using it as an excuse when there are other issues he is not bringing up? But yeah, I can’t possibly know all the intricacies of your family relationships and playing a remote family therapist is not the best thing to do. I hope you can find some common ground one day.
And sorry for throwing you into a “stereotypical American” bucket like that, it’s a bit too easy to find such people nowadays.
lol, ok.
