This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if lots of new parents are asking LLMs for advice.
And before AI (and probably still), new parents probably googled a lot of things.
And before internet search engines, new parents probably checked out books from libraries.
Parenting books were serious business, whole generations were raised with Dr Spock for instance, who had fucked up ideas about childrearing.
It's one thing to ask for tips on getting a baby to sleep, it's another to ask it for formula recipes. Unfortunately I doubt most parents know the line where it becomes dangerous, but I am hoping here.
That man has kids?🤦♀️
One, through surrogacy. Did he ask AI to explain to him how to fill his little jizz cup?
Seeing as ChatGPT was trained on other peoples' books, articles, etc., it's not surprising he says that.
Kinda slimy that he probably couldn't even give sources for his new-found child wisdom. Y'know, because ChatGPT is a glorified corporate piracy machine using stolen data and aggregating it for morons like him to read instead of doing a google search.
Someone needs to Chat CPS.
I wonder how people have been doing it, since the beginning of time, with no help from technology.
Ya big fucking clown.
Edit:
Honestly bro what is it about tech bros being the biggest fucking losers on the face of this planet? I have more respect for street sweepers at this point
If street sweepers went away, people would notice within a week or two.
If tech bros went away, we'd just enjoy not having tech bros.
It's like that one thing: "Who would you notice is gone first, the CEO or the janitor?"
Given what he's undoubtedly being paid, I'm sure hiring a nanny to look after his unfortunate offspring is well within his budget.
Which he can afford because of ChatGPT. Checkmate.
Altman: How do i care for my child?
Chat GPT (condensed): You rich, hire a removed.
Maybe because he’s an idiot?
Someone who says this is not a fit parent and should have their children taken away from them.
Poor little human . I mean the baby
Your kids will grow up and hate you because you suck as a dad.
For thousands of years people have raised their kids without the benefit of the moneypit 9000, Sam Altman is apparently dumber then a caveman.
Millions.
What in the actual fuck ‽
Does he have a humiliation kink?
sammy knows what to say to get incurious venture capitalists to give him money
Cute how he finds new ways every day to say: "I'm a loser."
That makes sense—being raised by ChatGPT might be marginally better than being raised by Sam Altman.
I’m not as anti AI as a lot of people here but trusting it with very important things is asking for trouble. It still randomly hallucinates and gives you bad info. Not as often as it used to but still not good enough to trust with your child’s health.
ChatGPT has taken my bread to the next level and helped me diagnose electronics problems way faster than I have figured out on my own, which is awesome. But it has also given me a blueberry muffin recipe with no wet ingredients and calculated bread hydration 10% too low. I can easily imagine a scenario where some tired parent asks it for a Motrin dose for an infant and gets a wildly wrong answer and injures their child.
Like many things, a tool is only as smart as the wielder. There's still a ton of critical thinking that needs to happen as you do something as simple as bake bread. Using an AI tool to suggest ingredients can be useful from a creative perspective, but should not be assumed accurate at face value. Raisins and Dill? maybe ¯\(ツ)/¯, haven't tried that one myself.
I like AI, for being able to add detail to things or act as a muse, but it cannot be trusted for anything important. This is why I'm 'anti-AI'. Too many people (especially in leadership roles) see this tool as a solution for replacing expensive humans with something that 'does the thinking'; but as we've seen elsewhere in this thread, AI CANT THINK. It only suggests items that are statistically likely to be next/near based on its input.
In the Security Operations space, we have a phrase "trust but verify". For anything AI, I would use 'doubt, then verify" instead. That all said. AI might very well give you a pointer to the place to ask how much motrin an infant should get. Hopefully, that's your local pediatrician.
Fairly based. If you verify the output by visiting trusted medical sites, you won't need a doctor for many things. Learn to do it on your own, become a medic. You have a kid, don't rely on others for its survival. Only in emergency should a professional be needed.
There, nuance.
In other words, he's an idiot.
“It's difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on not understanding it." -Upton Sinclair
Somebody call CPS
I also don't understand how anyone could possibly not be a massive disappointment to their family without my patented Solutionbot 3600 that you can also take advantage of for just $$/month forever.
Money please!
We have mistaken rationality for a philosophy rather than a methodology, and efficiency for a virtue without any particular end in mind.
To have a unique, personal, subjective, divergent human experience is to sin against your prescribed algorithm.
I asked ChatGPT how Sam Altman would have taken care of his baby without the help of ChatGPT:
Sam Altman would’ve taken care of his baby the same way the rest of us did before his chatbot existed—by learning, asking, fumbling, caring, and figuring it out like a goddamn human.
Altman’s quote—“I don’t know how I would’ve done that”—feels less like a reflection on parenthood and more like an unintentional glimpse into the kind of disconnection that can happen when you believe your product is the answer to everything.
Of course, he’s not wrong that AI can be useful. But if your first thought when your newborn won’t sleep is to consult ChatGPT, that says more about your priorities than it does about parenthood.
the rest of us
feels [...] like
See even ChatGPT can emulate self-awareness better than Sam Altman.
It’s sad that all of our collective wisdom is so dead and gone people will turn to a glorified chatbot instead
Please be a bit considerate. It's hard for him to form human connections when you are trying to be a plague on humanity.
I believe the answer Sam is by being a parent and figuring shit out. Babies do very few things: eat, pee, burp, shit and sleep. If they have done all those things within a reasonable timeframe then it is likely they are hot, cold or otherwise uncomfortable. And some babies just want you to talk to them and hold them. After spending time raising your child you'll develop a sixth sense for what a cry is for so first you have to spend time with them.
Now, if you are filthy rich you shove the screaming sack of skin into the nearest nanny and GTFO. Later in life you'll wonder why your relationship is business like at best and transactional at worst with your kid, which you will lament to your therapist about, but still fail to have the self realization that it's because you were never a parent.
P. S. Please fall out a high rise window or down a very long hard flight of stairs ASAP.
Well every other person that ever existed was raised without ChatGPT being necessary so just ask anyone.
Just a big ol' WTF here...
Has Sam Altman never heard of parenting books?
books
??? I think I'll have to ask ChatGPT whatever the fuck you're talking about.
