THE ETHICIST TAP : CHATBOTS DEPENDENCE [ Q ]

FOR the past year, my partner has used either ChatGpt or Claude to help him make almost every decision. Need help writing an email? Claude links to a tool that does it for him.

Need help negotiating a lease renewal? He puts it through A.I. for an answer. He talks to ChatGPT daily and feels it leaves him better than he knows himself. He has discussed our arguments with it to understand them better.

At one point he struggled to get out of a work rut and wanted to regain excitement or hope in a bad job situation.

We had several discussions and I gave him advice from my experience. Days later he said, '' I was talking to ChatGPT and it made so much sense ! '' Then he repeated the same advice I had given him.

He is sometimes on his computer for hours on end, and not really spending the quality time with me that I deserve.

I regard using A.I. to save time figuring out how to roast a chicken or finding information you need.  Still, one reason I love my partner is his sharp mind and critical thinking.

Using A.I. for every decision is something I don't understand. I believe in using all your resources before turning to technology. Do the research, use real resources and think of a solution yourself.

HERE'S my question. How do I go about telling my partner, his reliance on A.I. is damaging our relationship.

ChatGPT and Claude are so embedded in his life that I'm not sure how to approach the situation?
