To hear the former Yahoo CEO tells it, the creepy AI assistant is meant to help women delegate monotonous chores.

“Women, this is my own bias, tend to take more photos and are more visual, and so being able to work with AI in a visual medium is fun,” Mayer told the NYT. “It essentially understands your personality, your likes, your dislikes, because it knows what you think looks good.”

As revolting as this is, AI could probably do a better job at parenting than Marissa Mayer, and a lot of other people too for that matter.

Dear daughter: instead of dealing with the monotony of motherhood and attending your extra circular activities to get to know you I fed a bunch of your personal information into ChatGPT and it so wonderfully told me why you are special, I couldn't be more proud of you.

I mean, that's Parent of the Year behavior if ever I saw it 🤣

Wasn't the whole fucking point of AI that you could have it do the boring work so that you can take care of and pay attention to what really matters to you.... Oh, that's sad, heartbreakingly sad.

Just outright saying you're a bad parent is way more honest than I ever expected.

Former Yahoo CEO and high fashion obsessed billionaire founding member of Google (employee #5?). These people broke ranks with reality a long time ago.

While using Dazzle to plot out her 14-year-old son Macallister’s birthday party, the AI tool recommended a glow-in-the-dark theme, including glowing pool toys and phosphorescent corn hole.

“He was like, ‘Mom, I don’t want to hit the theme that hard,'” Mayer said of her son’s reaction. “I just can’t help myself.”

Even her kid is trying to get her to stop with the AI shit

“It came back and was like, your daughter is empathetic, creative and an animal lover,” Mayer told the paper, evidently proud of outsourcing the task of knowing basic facts about her own child.
