“I hate it when my children talk to me” is so common among parents jesus
To be fair to the average parent (not people who give their kids ChatGPT what the fuck), I’m sure it’s less “I hate it when my children talk to me” and more “After the 20th time hearing it the discussion about Frozen starts to get old” or “Hearing this Jim Gill song for the 50th time today makes me want to throw the speaker out a window”
Yeah it’s this, and the hyperfixation combined with repetition. Considerable patience is required when you genuinely cannot segue to a related topic or different activity.
I wonder how many parents literally just don’t know what kids are like until they have them.
everyone should volunteer at a kindergarten or daycare for one semester before they get their baby license
About all of them
I mean, we’ve all been kids.
That’s definitely the sentiment in that post. Really the most charitable interpretation of a post that starts with “I had a rough week”. I’m sure most parents would gladly spent more time interacting with and listening to their children, but most do have to work 40+ hours a week plus housework plus all the other shit one has to do as an adult, plus having the existential burden of living under late stage capitalism, none of which someone else does for you just because you had a baby.
iPad kids are going to seem so normal compared to kids raised by a hallucinating chatbot.
“chatgpt enthralls a literal baby” is at least kinda honest about how useful it is
🎶My son turned 4 just the other day
He said thanks for the bot, dad. Now go away🎶🎶 And the chat’s been enabled and the milker goons
we destroy school and 4chan is immune🎶
Could we allow the child to socialize with other children and people in the community?
NO! I must keep the child under my own power, inside the confines of my property, at all times. This is my right as a parent to make all the choices and steering decisions. If it runs me out of mental resources, so be it.
I swear, capitalist ideology is a crime against children worldwide.
I mean, 4 is a little young to be out and about socializing while mom or dad is at home doing other things.
By 5 I was already hanging out on the block or with kids down the street. Preschool, crêche… It’s pretty universal and you can realize this if you paper over the assumptions that atomized/individualistic/neoliberal culture teaches you. Only in the past 50 years or so have we really hardened around the idea that instead of existing in the village unit, children ought to exist mostly in the nuclear family unit and the single-owner property associated with it. And this leaves children much more prone to having stunted development.
God I can only hope any future children of mine want to infodump about Thomas the Tank Engine, that sounds like a dream tbh
This fucking loser deserves to lose his child to a chatbot and this poor kid deserves so much more than a parent that doesn’t care enough about them to even pretend to listen
I choose the wire mother
gotta say, this one sounds made up
Yes! This!
How did this person find it easier to set up speech to text for his son and text to speech for the AI (that part I assume might come standard) instead of just talking to his dang son some more?! And then after that, how did the AI understand the 4 year old (an age at which kids are known for perfect pronounciation etc.) perfecty enough to stay on one topic for hours? Or did the 4 year old know how to type well enough for the same thing to occur?
Does not pass the smell test. Smells instead of an ad trying to make AI seem competent.
what part is unrealistic? a parent being so incompetent that they let a chat bot parent their child, or a child (that’s probably autistic) talking to a chat bot for that long?
The most unrealistic part is ChatGPT managing to stay on topic and not forget the entire conversation for that long.
Specifically a four year old typing to a chatbot for several hours. Sure, there are kids that age that read, but to write? and for that long? Seems off. That it’s supposedly about Thomas is just the too-on-the-nose cherry on the cake.
chatgpt has text to speech and speech to text, you can have conversations with it …
