"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

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.
