I made a new friend but she chronically uses chat gpt for every single thought she has (even tho she knows how terrible it is for the environment) idk how to proceed like is this a reason to lose a friendship? Like she knows this is my whole major/passion

Honestly, you might want to be straight up with her about it and leave. If you give her the genuine reason, it leaves the door open for if she makes a change

Just cutting people off without good communication about problems you have with them is emotionally immature behavior itself. At least have a serious conversation about it and see how she reacts. If she blows you off completely then she obviously doesn’t value your input or feelings and then it would be time to cut her off. If she does reconsider her behavior then there’s no need for a cut off

yeah this is my bf it genuinely upsets me and we’re talked about it and i’ve educated him so much but as a CIS major he always says it’s necessary for his classes and will be for his future job… im going into conservation… idk if im going to end up resenting him but we’ve been together for so long it seems like not a large enough thing to breakup over

If you can’t be friends with someone who has a differing view, belief, etc. It’s immature on your part I’m sorry. If you only surround yourself with people who think and behave like you, you also will never grow as a person.

but also nothing wrong with a lower tier friendship like she can just stay an acquaintance

as hard as it is i have friends even now that do things i know are bad for the environment. make your feelings clear about it and if you still want them as a friend just tell them you don’t want to hear about it

I don’t think a “serious conversation” is appropriate for knowing each other all of a week though, we’re not that close like I said she’s a new friend

doing something that is proven to have a negative impact on your mental health and the environment, acknowledging that, and still continuing to do it, is more than a different view

Not like a serious talk, but you can do it in passing comments like “can you please not use chatgpt right now” or “you know how bad/wrong chat is? You really shouldn’t use it”. And if the blow you off over that, then drop em.

Just pls talk to them a bit more abt it and explicitly show that you don’t like it. You might even want to say “if you continue using chstgpt around me, I don’t think I’ll want to be your friend anymore”.
