It will not only work for you, but will play and love for you, too.

His wife is going to leave him, and he will have no idea why.

I have a few friends who use OpenAI and Gemini to do this (generate new stories every night) and I do not understand why you would do so. There are a bazillion kids books out there. Just get ten of those and your kid will be happy for ten months!

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.

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

"Tremendous observation! You were right to try to be better as a father with the help of AI. You did nothing wrong."

Probably.

Or you could make a story up 😄

I'm so glad AI is here to relieve me of the physically and mentally overwhelming task of checks notes spending time with my child.

1. Is this from Xwitter? And if so, why? Nothing on that platform is worthy of our time and attention.

2. Even if it isn't Xwitter. This could be just a joke. Admittedly, not a good one. But a screenshot may not be enough to banish this father of the year.

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

Ooh, I'd love to see the followup

It feels really good to have those anti-role models around

Increasing the reach of the mentals won't do good to your mentals.

That these degenerates think this is an acceptable method of parenting illuowhy they shouldn’t have kids.

Fucking morons.

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.

You could try thrifting :3

Also, you've assumed that:
A, this person wants to have kids, and
B, that this person does not have kids.

If you’re in the U.K., The Works will sell you 10 children’s books for £10, which is less than one hour of work at minimum wage for an adult.

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

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

They're shredding him

I certainly wouldn't buy all our kids books brand new.

I do buy a couple of the hard cover classics.

I buy a heap from thrift stores. This is probably the majority.

We go to the library when we can.

I also pirate and print some.

These kids are gonna kill themselves. Don't have kids if you don't have time to spend with them.

Interesting you used roman for novel. Are you Ukrainian or Russian?
Edit: I see this is the same in a lot of languages. Could be German.

What does he need a wife for when he has ChatGPT?

I dunno. Try asking ChatGPT.

Or tell a story of your wild & sordid youth & make it sound made up.

In the words of Homer Simpson "It's funny cause it's true". Well, actually it's sad.

Driving a car requires a test and licensing. Somehow, raising a child doesn't require something similar.

Man, I feel kinda sorry for that guy. He must have had terrible parents, if he perceives story time as a chore instead of an opportunity to bond with your child. He should probably get some professional help to work through his horrible childhood. Though his next tweet would probably be „I‘ve replaced my therapist with an AI and now I‘m even more confident that everyone else is wrong!“

Answer: good that she left, she didn't go with the times

Having to use AI daily I'm curious if I'm rare in this respect.

Do other people also hate the fact that the responses are modelled in a way that are basically sucking you off?

Then when you challenge a response (they lie so goddamn much) they suck you off even more.

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

Absolutely. I must use Claude at work. I put instructions in my CLAUDE.MD to, "lay off the sycophantic bullshit. No praise or extraneous details, just deliver answers."

It doesn't work, per se... But it seems to reduce the attempted fellatio, at least a little.

This is ragebait. Right? People can't possibly be that shitty...

What more proof do you need that these miserable people are completely joyless than the fact that they immediately automate everything people find enjoyable just because they can?

Screenshots, pls?

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

I'm stuck using Copilot for work, and for 3-4 months I began every prompt with 'Do not comment or offer an opinion on my query' and eventually Copilot stopped with the sycophancy.

Now I'm actively working on deprogramming myself of the notion of speaking to it as a human and making a point to treat it like an old-school MS-DOS ish OS and give it commands instead of being conversational, because it's important to remember that this fucking thing is a computer program.

That poor kid, Imagine your own father thinks so little of you that he would rather spend 10X the time to train a clanker just so he doesn't have to spend time with you.

I'm guessing some day he will be one of those oblivious assholes on facebook whining because his kids cut off contact.

Parenting hits different when you work in AI

Yeah, hits like mental abuse.

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.

I think anyone who isn't an American hates that, and probably even some of them. For Gemini at work I've got a custom gem set up with explicit instructions to cut that shit out and just be as factual as possible.

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

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

Expensive new maybe, but...

Secondhand shops. Both online and offline.

Charity/ thrift shops.

Places like Vinted and eBay.

Ask relatives and friends for books instead of yet another toy.

Yeah I might have to try that.

As an aside having used all flavours from a coding perspective Claude is just chef's kiss.

Copilot can burn in a fire.

Seriously and it will sometimes drop my name like fuck off you are not a person do not refer to me like you are

You can set up a situation in which you observe the way a parent interacts with a kid. They way they talk with the child, the way they play together are all incredibly important for good language development and can be an indicator for how the parent will be interacting with their child at home once they're born.

Even having classes where future parents learn about how to raise their child in a good way would be a good start. Make it mandatory and not something you choose to do. Chances are that parents who do partake in such classes aren't the parents that need to be taught about it in the first place.

Point is, there's plenty things you can and should offer - everything's better than having nothing of that sort right now.
