Like many kids, mine love to ask a million questions at bedtime. I'll answer the first three or four "but why?" questions, then I hand it over to AI. The computer system has relentless energy to answer questions from even the most persistent kid, and my children usually get tired out after a few minutes.

Nothing says paternal love more than handing a phone to your kids at bedtime so you don't have to interact with them

I'm sure the only thing his kids care about is amassing knawledge and not actually wanting to spend time with their non-AI (cringe) dad...

If you're gullible enough to rely on AI to raise your kids, maybe the AI is the better solution.

Sounds like the parent is the true artificial intelligence

1st world humans are barely human anymore anyway.

These kids are going to be the most braindead, dumb, neoliberal/reactionary fucks, having no original thought ever, unless they break the cycle and get exposed to actual human relationships.

Wow. Here we have five members of the next generation of MAGAt Redcaps.

FYI: You can't combine a URL post and an image post. It's one or the other and the Lemmy UI doesn't make that limitation clear. The standard workaround is what you've done, put the URL in the body text.

More on topic: I can't imagine using an AI for anything even remotely resembling childcare advice.

Been here on and off for several years (decade, maybe?), and I had no idea. Always thought I was messing something up lol! Thanks for the clarification!

More on topic: I completely agree, and am appalled that there are people out there moronic enough to subject their children to their idiocy (appalled, but not surprised).
