17-year-old tells mom she doesn't want her AI-written letter for her high school graduation ceremony, mom calls her a bad daughter

Would you accept a heartfelt note from someone if it were written by AI?

This is a very modern problem. There is no precedent for this, so we have to create our own. Maybe you have someone in your life who is a little over-reliant on large language models. They've stopped knowing how to craft their own words and sentences, so they're relying on technology to do it for them. There are plenty of ways that this can be helpful, but even more ways that this can become destructive. If you're feeding all of your thoughts into AI, then how can you expect to have a genuine interaction? 

The young woman in this story wanted to draw a line in the sand with her mother when it came to her AI use. The way she saw it, she was missing out on a nice moment between mother and daughter. Her mom saw a simple solution to something that she needed help with. When you're a parent, you only get so many opportunities to impart wisdom on your children. There are finite opportunities to do this, and one of them is around high school graduation. It's a huge turning point in your life and theirs. It's a time to reflect on childhood and see what you want to take with you into early adulthood. It's the last throes of being a child, in the truest sense. It's a ripe time to have honest conversations between parents and children. Should AI generate those conversations?
