Coming out as an AI researcher to someone I've been dating

I've been kind of hesitant about telling this person that I've been dating about my career because she's someone that's been in the news for saying negative things about AI in the past. She seems generally opposed to it, but I don't really know.<br><br>I'm really liking her and I feel like I need to come clean about what I do, but I'm worried that she'll immediately stop talking to me. The reason I need to come clean is because I don't want to be viewed as disingenuous or deceptive, and that's what I feel like I'm doing unless I tell her. I've been avoiding talking about things like AI, tech, etc. but I don't want to give off the wrong impression, my whole intention is to get to know her for who she is, not to try to change her views, attack her views, or even support her views. I'm not even sure of her views, but I feel like I've been put in a weird spot.<br><br>Coming out as an AI researcher to someone that you've been dating isn't something that you really get a lot of good advice for. Has anyone else ever been in this position?<br><br>&#x200B;
