He will ask ChatGPT and it will give him an answer

And I think he wouldn't even care. I mean he's himself actively making an effort to get out of the relationship and replace himself by an AI. At that point it doesn't even matter if he's doing it, she's doing it and whether the replacement is made up of flesh and bones or electricity. He's dispensable.

Don’t worry. He’ll be able to create a sycophant AI wife shortly after

Shit sticks together, what makes you think she would leave?

I knew people were gonna be obsessed with AI, but I genuinely never thought people would surrender all executive function and thought to what is, ultimately, a very elaborate and planet destroying if=then machine.

the amount of people I have seen becoming totally dependent on it is ridiculous. There are people who cant even have human interaction anymore without running it through their AI model to process the message, and produce a reply.

and its 100% invading the real world too, I dont know the whole details cause you try to turn your ears off at the pharmacy to not hear other peoples private information.. but there was a woman getting very heated with one of the pharmacy people and I only took notice when she slammed her phone on the counter, aggressively pointed at it, and said very loudly "I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY, LOOK, RIGHT HERE, MY AI SAYS YOU'RE WRONG" in a that kareny way that says her and her AI was 100% wrong.

Also using a model for this is totally missing the bonding experience.

Or you could make a story up 😄

Ten? They'll fixate on one that'll you'll need to read so often that you don't need the actual book anymore

there is so lovely media out there… often artists/storywriters who are parents themselves. there is no other niche that I know of where you can feel the love they put in in so many works. This makes me almost want to have kids. Well or at least become a children’s book author lol

I can imagine some reasons they would opt for this. First, the AI is always there so they don't have to do put in any effort at all in acquiring the story. Second they could make the stories tailored to what they want to teach their kid - regular kids books usually have decent morals and lessons for helping the kid become a better person and a lot of AI aficionados don't want that.

Why do you need an AI to do that? My grandpa used to let us just make up what we wanted to hear a story about and tell a story about that. I do the same. Its not hard. It doesnt have to be the most minted story in history.

If you're in the US just sign up for Dolly Parton's Imagination Library and you'll get a free kids book for your each of your kids every month.

That woman could've been a billionaire several times over but consistently chose to reinvest her wealth into community rather than hoarding it all to herself like a dragon. What a shame she's gone.

Not to mention the creation of a shared cultural heritage.

Most Danish kids have heard a few, or all, of HC Andersen's biggest works. It gives them something to talk about when they're socialising with other kids

If your friends kid, becomes the only kid in their class which haven't heard the stories of their local cultural heritage. That's a potential for creating a social rift in school, why have you not heard about the ugly duckling?

Childrens books are expensive. A 20 pages one cost the same amount like a 700 pages roman.

We use the library but cant go there every week.

Thinking is hard after full workday + 6h intense childcare. Youll see what i mean when you have kids and do it without screentime. Zero.

I'm sure there is a good few older people who would find a lot of comfort in Groks world view.

Must think youre an elon fan

More time left for what truly matters: creating shareholder value

"Dad, do you want to play catch?"

"Who are you? Oh, ohhhh...Best I can do is get one of those dog ball throwing machine things!"

This is exactly what I came into the comments to see.

Futurama just gets it

Its bonkers but some men are raised to believe that their role when not at work is to do as little as possible.

Unfortunately the Asian parent stereotype is true for many Asian parents. Bet his mom still calls him a failure because his cousin is a doctor.

Honestly the best thing my father could have done for me was not try to parent me because he was a fucking asshole that had no idea how to relate to children. I guess you could say I'm a glass half full kind of guy.

What’s not true?

As a parent who interacts with other parents, I can assure you some are.

I watched a presentation from a big tech company in which the presenter talked how, while his wife was giving birth, he saw that as an opportunity and asked AI to build a "nursery design" site because he could use his daughter as a model. People were praising him for being forward thinking about providing to his family, I just couldn't imagine being this greedy.

I saw people from the same company eagerly discussing using AI to recreate dead relatives. It's disgusting how much these people are hypnotized by AI

I said this the other day, it's a story. Regardless of whether or not it's ragebait it has a kernel of truth existing inside a story. Could this have happened, sure. Is it an objective truth? Most definitely not.

There was a clip from legal eagle that the victims sister used his pictures to create an ai video of him to present at trial. I don't know if its shitty... but its fucking weird man

This song fucked me up when my first was born.

I know people who would die to have children so they can see them become successful well adjusted adults. Those people can have kids.

I also know people who dont want to have kids. They dont have to.

I also also know people who really want kids, but in the way a person would want a dog, so they can train it to be good, hit it when its bad, and itll never be older than 3 years because they havent thought that far ahead. These people should be sterilized.

people romanticize the idea of having children and realizing it's not what they expected

dude....so much this.

I had zero romantic thoughts of having kids. I didn't even want them, honestly. my wife and literally everyone around us on the other hand, very much so wanted us to have kids.

don't judge though. as a current parent I don't ignore my responsibilities and fully intend on giving my kids the best I can. at least, a better more loving home than I had.

but man, life would be so much easier without them. I literally could be on a beach somewhere in the world right now if I didn't have kids. have lunch in Paris. then stop by in Denmark for some dinner.

by the time they can stand on their own I'll be dead. so now I can only save money in hopes to help soften any financial hardships they will need to endure.

I've been playing around with the idea of recording some "dad's wisdom" videos for them when they get older and I'm not around.

And the one thing that would leave me feeling too exhausted to want to read to my kids (but would anyway), is work. The last thing I would replace that with... Is more work.

Oh no, it doesn't do work, silly!

It's easy, just train an AI to call your dad.... there are actually services for that!! https://www.senior/ talk.com/ (with a dash in between, no space, no slash after "senior" obv)

1. Yes
2. It isn't. He's doubling down in the replies

"But for the briefest of moments, he did generate a blip of revenue for shareholders."

Because any kind of test or restriction leads to eugenics which is ethically unconscionable.

Loads of your and my ancestors were scum bag parents.

What would you even test for that wouldn't accidentally be either testing for English language skills or the ability to lie?

I mean, anything else is eugenics, so...

This is a parody guys. Calm down.

How are those of us who aren't chronically online supposed to know some douche on Twitter is a parody account or not?

Because people like this guy literally exist in real life.

Poe's law teaches us that any satire, sufficiently advanced, is indistinguishable from sincerity.

Or, as John Scalzi puts it:

1. The effectiveness of clever on other people is highly contingent on outside factors, over which you have no control and of which you may not have any knowledge; i.e., just because you intended to be clever doesn’t mean you will be perceived as clever, for all sorts of reasons.

2. The failure mode of clever is “asshole.”

Poe's law.

I've seen tech bros unironically argue that

• The sole purpose of art is the end product
• The objectively correct thing to do with a piece of human-made art that is not up to your standard of quality is to feed it through an image to image model to "improve" it so that it is up to a publishable standard
• Their LLM is better than them at their day job
• Resolving marital disputes by asking ChatGPT who's right is an appropriate thing to do
• Letting an LLM answer every single email you get eliminates the need to read them yourself
• An LLM is sapient and has its own thoughts and opinions
• Making and eating food is a waste of time, and eliminating it from their day using meal replacement shakes feels "liberating"

In light of that, this isn't too farfetched.

Connect your family calendars and explain your kids' interests. Every morning for the drive to school, have it make a podcast that talks about one kid's soccer game that afternoon, one kid's upcoming birthday, some news, etc.

Honestly, Lemmy used to be a refreshing departure from Reddit when people were joining because they hated Spez for political reasons, but now people just hate ads and are miffed about the moderator upheaval. Lemmy is basically just ad-free Reddit with worse moderation now.

Overall, it's still better than Reddit, but that's a low bar. I'm starting to think that social media, federated or not, is a bad idea. We need to bring back topical forums and ban people for being off-topic and wrong.

This site is for ex redditer so I'm not suprised in the least.

Yeah.... I've been sent enough AI generated voice memos that I'm not so sure it's parody. Maybe this specific guy, but I 100% believe there's people out there doing it.

The concept of "it's the thought that counts" is lost on these people.

Seriously, how do they not see the issue with automating a script that says "I'm thinking of you".

Okay, as soon as our planet breaks apart in a world ending way, I'll allow an AI voice to read kids bedtime stories

I hate the way people just assume that technology gets infinitely better over time and there aren't limitations on anything.

You're basically doing the same thing people in the 1950s used to do when they assumed we'd be flying to work on jetpacks by now.

Yay, get to experience being in a meeting and then being in that same meeting by myself!
