My wife and I have a major conflict regarding AI.

Hey everyone, I'm just here for advice. Me (easy going, tech savy) and my wife (not tech savy but a spiritual and emotional person) have just had a huge fight regarding AI. <br><br>Last year I just got a smart speaker and she hated it. I did not program it at all, it was just the default one that came with the speaker and she already got paranoid about it. I just used it to play some music, tell the time, news headlines, and play a few things on tv. Then she started questioning me about stuff I was doing around the house, how I know what I'm doing and do all the things I do. I told her I just watch YouTube videos and sometimes ask Google for help. She got angry and said I was a 'normal' person once and now its like I have a 'third person' in my head that helps me with everything. I didn't really get what she meant but she does not like this one bit.<br><br>Yesterday I was just casually talking to her about new tech and I told her about AI. We had a major fight. She was annoyed that I did not tell her about it, I thought she just forgot but she remembers it's only been a year. She started to scold me for not explaining to her all the things I was doing, how do I know about all these things? Did I use AI to figure out what to do? I told her I didn't think much of it and I thought she already knew about it from Google and you-tube. She got super angry and started calling me a liar, I do not even use my own brain anymore and that I let this AI thing take over my life. I told her I still use my brain, I still can't do everything myself which made her even more upset. Why can't we just live a simple life? Why do we need tech if we already know and can do everything?<br><br>I told her its like saying why do we have cars when we already have our legs? It makes life easier and faster but she said its the opposite. She said we do not know what to do with what we have. I tried explaining to her its not just about making life easier, its about practicality. I know what she means but I disagree. I also told her I would be wasting a lot of time learning and doing things myself if I let a machine do it for me, in the last 20 years I have learned more and gained more knowledge than my entire life. I told her, I am not being lazy, I am just using my head, it's just like having a very powerful tool or a very smart friend but she got angry at that. She started to call me stupid for even comparing that to a smart friend, does my smart friend tell me what to wear every day? Can my smart friend do everything my wife and me do around the house? How can I wear a shirt and pants when I do not even know what to wear? Am I trying to be a super hero or what? She was also asking why I need to use it, why I need to let the machines and AIs do it for me. I told her we need to adapt for the future, our grandkids will be living in a time when AIs are very common and we should know how to use it when that time comes and I think we already know how to use in now. She was getting more agitated as I spoke. My wife is very smart but she is not very good with tech. <br><br>Now I am not sure what to do. She is not speaking to me at all. I think I should just leave it alone but I do not want to be mean to her. I feel sorry for her and I do not even think of AI as a separate person in my life. I know this is not a person, I still use my brain. I do not know if I am overreacting or if you guys think I am crazy. I do not think I am irrational, this is a very logical decision I made, but I think my wife does. I do not know what to do here. <br><br>Can you guys help me with this HUGE issue I am having? She is so upset right now.
