How to convince parents to stop using AI regarding my university?
Hello!
I recently got accepted into Sofia University, and my parents constantly use AI in order to check information like tuition, scholarships, etc.
This makes me extremely uncomfortable, because it can and has made mistakes, and I'd rather they just use Google to check information.
I tried to ask them nicely, but they said "it's just a tool" and that they "check its answers" (they don't) and that "you can make mistakes too". Their excuse is that it saves them time and that they're paying for my university anyways.
I've told them it makes me extremely uncomfortable that they're misinforming me and letting my future in the hands of AI.
I've tried to be reasonable with them as much as I can but I cannot get them to budge. They're very aware of how I feel about it. I know it's kinda stupid, but I'm genuinely on the verge of tears...
