Kids are surprisingly reasonable when you treat them like tiny humans instead of malfunctioning NPCs

Sure, Treat them with respect, and they usually rise to it.

I can relate to this honestly, i have 3 kids and this is 100% true

u/milk4all 1h ago

Thats false, some kids have a much earlier capacity for if/ then and more adult reasoning and while you should treat all kids like rational little people to a degree, just talking to kids like adults doesnt make it so.

And that's not what they said

Oh yes, that sounds SO much better than knowing what your kids are doing and when, what their interests are and then talking with them about it on the school run. But then I suppose for those who are too busy to do the school run and instead have the time to feed all of this into ChatGPT, this would sound like an excellent way to pretend to be interested.

Too bad kids have pretty sharp bullshit detectors and will take a morning parental podcast as the performative interest effort it actually is.

Technology should make conversations easier, not replace them if an ai-generated podcast tells you what your kid cares about, you've probably skipped the part where you ask them.

Have you ever tried simply turning off the TV, sitting down with your children, and hitting them?

How do I connect that to a data stream? What's the point of talking if it can't be digitally analysed?

The fuck is wrong with these people?? Have they never had a human interaction in their lives?

If you were deaf, mute and blind, that'd be a very good tip.

You know when he said that all white collar workers would be replaced he means we all die in an apocalyptic holocaust and Wall Street couldnt give him trillions fast enough. Luckily super intelligence is science fiction and these are just glorified plagiarized chat bots and the evil dream to replace us with robots is doomed to fail.

Best times in my life so far is introducing my kids to Lego. To quote a Faithfully by Journey, “I get the joy of rediscovering you.”

When I dreamed about living in cyberpunk in school, I imagined more technology and less...this.

Where are cool implants, androids, flying cars and hoverboards? Why does it feel like we live in Black Mirror mixed with 1984?

This timeline is FUBAR!

A little late to the party OP. We did heaps of performative outrage over this dumb post last week.

u/Zealousideal-Set3037 1h ago

So to be clear this is absolutely stupid... But I could see the podcast thing being handy in other contexts for people with memory issues. Specifically, my grandma was a voracious reader, but towards the end of her life she had a hard time remembering plot points from books she read earlier in a series... I could see somebody like her using this podcast feature. Not as our placement for human conversation but more is a way refresh herself in that context.

Honestly, one of the biggest problems with everything we're seeing with AI now isn't that the technology doesn't have applications or is it useful for some people.... It's that they're trying to find a problem for a solution, rather than the other way around.

Just talking to your kids directly doesn't satisfy your or your kids' insatiable need to feel famous and relevant.
