    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”
