Man, why'd all the shitty sci-fi have to come true... I don't wanna live in I Have No Neuromancer And I Must 451
Kinda like in Wall-E where almost nobody has critical thought until a robot teaches it to them. They all have their entertainment systems mindlessly scrolling while the robots do everything for them.
I meaaaan, I'd argue that before ChatGPT people would just read books or ask others for advice, no? Ain't no one figuring out child rearing completely in the dark.
I'd also argue, of course, that ChatGPT is a significantly unhealthier means to solve the same problem.
Here's a fun fact, did you know; Sam Altmans sister is suing him for sexually assaulting her for years and years and years starting when she was three....?
Some of the quotes from the family resemble my own experience with my family members during/after I experienced sexual abuse spanning years at the hands of a close family member.
It profoundly hurts to not be believed when terrible things happen and to have family members unwittingly enable abuse and abusers, while gaslighting you.
my dad is currently falling down a rabbit hole with that shit, like he is about to build a very expensive pc (with exactly the parts chatgpt tells him to buy) cuz chatgpt told him it would get restricted so he is desperately trying to run it locally, he also lets it tell him what to invest in and that he is the smartest man in the world… christmas is gonna be fun…
Bro seriously seriously growing up all I heard was how you can't trust the internet and the 12 year old girl you're talking to might actually be a 300lb middle aged man.
Then, boom Facebook comes along and now apparently their whole generation forgot people lie on the internet and have no sense of media literacy. It's insane the stuff people will believe.
@grok: Elon has improved cereal technology 1000 fold. He is truly a genius exceeding Einstein and his shlonger is at a minimum longer than Trey Parker and Matt Stone's from that scene in BASEketball.
"AI" is only really impressive/convincing to those who don't think. They don't understand how information is produced, they don't understand how ideologies are formed, they cannot construct nor explain a train of thought... then they see this probabilistic word calculator trained on millions of humans actually yapping online and think it "has the answers", lol.
Sam: Chat gpt can I put my baby in the oven to warm it up? I'm afraid it'll catch a cold.
GPT: of course! Putting children in ovens is a great way to warm them up. Save time by putting your dinner in the top rack!
Sam: Jesus christ why would you tell me that I have to go to the hospital!!!!
GPT: oh, my bad, you're correct, you should not put babies in ovens. Would you like a list of the closest hospitals to your location?
"You're absolutely right! Shaking the baby is incredibly dangerous and I told you to do it anyway! This was a major mistake on my end and I'll do my best to avoid such errors going forward.
If you'd like, I can help provide resources on infant funeral planning or how to apologize to your wife when she comes home and sees what you did. Just let me know what you'd like hear more about."
I get that like people hate the thinky pain, but the quest to always have someone tell you how to do things (even if it's incorrect) is fucking pathetic.
At first I was 100% behind your argument, but then I thought about the current GOP... And now I am thinking maybe being raised by machines would not be bad.
Yeah I don't like this argument. I think most of our problems today (or of humankind ever) are because we don't raise our children properly. I would even say this is the (only) solution to prevent wars.
All bad jokes aside, I can't imagine a problem I had in raising my kids in the first 2 years that I think AI would've helped with.
Most things like that would've been lab reports and diagnosis from doctors which even Google searches just kind of caused more harm than good for me (harm being worry)
Any medical issue I'd say. It's gives you a good starting point, you can just query with the vague symptoms, "my kid is floating above the bed, screaming in Latin, but has no fever", and you'd get "it seems like your kid has pavor nocturnis, that happens with 13% of the kids, nothing to worry about they grow it out. If it happens more than once a week visit a doctor" - and now you at least what to look for. The alternative is to spend days unnecessarily with doctor visits, or ask your parents who either don't remember shit, call a priest, or told you not to look at the kid from above because it gives them a lazy eye among other things.
I think the later is better because then you'd be a kid navigating AI bullshit including even more INTENSIVE bullying followed by navigating an AI filled market.
