A reader writes to Dear Prudence about their concern regarding their husband's use of artificial intelligence (AI) to help choose gifts. The reader personally avoids AI in their daily life, though they use it at work for professional tasks. Their husband, while not an AI enthusiast, uses it in his everyday routines. The reader finds it uncomfortable when their husband uses AI tools like ChatGPT to generate gifts, such as haikus or recommendations. While the gifts are not completely inappropriate, they feel they lack the personal effort and thoughtfulness that used to define their husband’s gift-giving. The reader is unsure whether to ask their husband to stop using AI for gift selection entirely or just to avoid AI-generated poems or artwork. Prudence suggests that people might rely on AI when they feel uncertain or insecure about their own abilities. She advises the reader to express appreciation for their husband’s efforts and propose a compromise, such as agreeing to avoid AI in the gift-giving process. This approach allows the husband to feel supported while addressing the reader’s concerns about the personal touch in their relationship. Another reader, "A One Man Woman," asks if it's fair to ask her partner to delete dating and "sex for free" apps from his phone. Prudence advises against making demands without first having an open conversation about expectations and desires in the relationship. She suggests the reader communicate clearly about what she wants and whether her partner’s current behavior aligns with her values. Prudence emphasizes the importance of understanding whether the partner is open to monogamy and what that means for both individuals. A third reader, "Stressed By Sticky Fingers," is worried about their fiancé’s mother, who regularly shoplifts small items. The reader’s sister suggests ending the engagement, but they are hesitant. Prudence offers a practical solution: avoid shopping with the mother-in-law to prevent being complicit in or exposed to her behavior. This allows the reader to maintain their relationship without directly confronting the issue. Another reader shares their experience in a six-month relationship with a man who is kind, generous, and supportive but has not yet said "I love you." The reader has expressed their feelings, but the man is cautious about using the word "love" until they are further along in their relationship. The man’s past relationship ended poorly, and he wants to be more careful this time. He also wants to wait until he has more stability in his job and living situation before making a commitment. The reader acknowledges his reasoning but is left wondering how to move forward.
