Obviously not saying that your dad was a bad parent at all or that parents always have a choice, but in a vacuum not being present is not good and I don’t think ChatGPT makes up for it

Obv not, but there are ppl with kids that have to be away for a bit. Like an oil rig worker has to be gone for months at a time and having some way of keeping contact is nice. There are also immigration issues where families are separated for a bit. Lots of jobs depend on you being in a certain area away from your family for a bit, missing things like soccer games, etc. ChatGPT doesn’t make up for it, nothing does, but at least you get something that way

One of my friends’ moms worked 3 jobs to support them after their dad passed. From what ik abt the taxi industry a lot of drivers basically just work all day to provide for their families & don’t get the time to rly be there for all their kids’ moments/talk too much, they have to sleep too. Time is a luxury not everyone has. My dad had to do groundbreaking medical research that ended up saving a lot of ppl’s lives, he could only visit on holidays and the time zone diffs sucked, I don’t fault him

Using ChatGPT in lieu of what can be done with genuine human connection will always be a slippery slope. Instead of having the kids tell ChatGPT about their day to then relay to their busy parents in some strange podcast format, they could just… text their parents everything they were going to tell a robot. Then the parent can do text to speech in the car while they’re driving.

Yeah that could work too, though lowkey chat might be needed to help sort of translate bc especially for little kids they’ll say a lot but it won’t all make much sense unless you ask them midway through lol

That’s part of what makes them 1) YOUR kid and 2) A kid. The things they get stuck on or ramble about are things that *also* show what your child is thinking and feeling and has interest in. It’s part of their personality, and the stage where they’ll get side tracked in conversation is part of a development you’ll never get to experience again as they grow up. Attempting to streamline your own child is really sad

I get what you’re saying, but kids “saying a lot but it won’t all make much sense” is such a fundamental part of being a kid. It absolutely takes the humanity out of the interaction with your own child to use a robot to make your conversations with them more efficient. Just talk to your kid. Enjoy the side tangents and random thoughts.

Yeah so there’s actually a million other podcasts that are really great to listen to that *don’t* involve streamlining your own children and replacing human conversation with them. A million other podcasts could replace Joe Rogan and Andrew Tate.

Insanely poor logic. You’re saying there already exist a million podcasts and somehow they’ll magically replace Rogan and Tate even though they’re currently not replacing Rogan and Tate? How exactly. Pixie dust?

And you think some hallucinated slop will? You’re on crack or something.

It wasn’t a joke, though, clearly. There are a million other podcasts much better than them. Once that hole is left, they’ll be filled with better content. Like things that aren’t your beloved AI slop.

And *you’re* saying that some AI generated slop to replace human connection with your own children WILL replace Tate and Rogan? Out of ALLLLLLL the podcasts out there, this is the one to do it? That’s your logic?

No. Because what I said was clearly a joke. But what I am saying is that the existing podcasts are not replacing Rogan or Tate since those two still exist. Which is the claim you’re making. And that claim has an obviously incorrect flaw in it.
