I asked ChatGPT how Sam Altman would have taken care of his baby without the help of ChatGPT:
Sam Altman would’ve taken care of his baby the same way the rest of us did before his chatbot existed—by learning, asking, fumbling, caring, and figuring it out like a goddamn human.
Altman’s quote—“I don’t know how I would’ve done that”—feels less like a reflection on parenthood and more like an unintentional glimpse into the kind of disconnection that can happen when you believe your product is the answer to everything.
Of course, he’s not wrong that AI can be useful. But if your first thought when your newborn won’t sleep is to consult ChatGPT, that says more about your priorities than it does about parenthood.

See even ChatGPT can emulate self-awareness better than Sam Altman.

That says a lot about how worthless if a human he is.

if a human he is
Couldn’t have said it better myself.

I wonder how people have been doing it, since the beginning of time, with no help from technology.
Ya big fucking clown.
garretble@lemmy.world 2 months ago
If street sweepers went away, people would notice within a week or two.
If tech bros went away, we’d just enjoy not having tech bros.

Well every other person that ever existed was raised without ChatGPT being necessary so just ask anyone.

Counterpoint: the parents before chatgpt raised Altman, Hitler, musk, trump, Putin, Castro, etc.

Does he have a humiliation kink?

sammy knows what to say to get incurious venture capitalists to give him money
SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I believe the answer Sam is by being a parent and figuring shit out. Babies do very few things: eat, pee, burp, shit and sleep. If they have done all those things within a reasonable timeframe then it is likely they are hot, cold or otherwise uncomfortable. And some babies just want you to talk to them and hold them. After spending time raising your child you’ll develop a sixth sense for what a cry is for so first you have to spend time with them.
Now, if you are filthy rich you shove the screaming sack of skin into the nearest nanny and GTFO. Later in life you’ll wonder why your relationship is business like at best and transactional at worst with your kid, which you will lament to your therapist about, but still fail to have the self realization that it’s because you were never a parent.

In other words, he’s an idiot.

Just a big ol’ WTF here…

Forget chatgpt, I’m appalled that he reproduced.

Through surrogacy. He’s gay.

Cute how he finds new ways every day to say: “I’m a loser.”
FanciestPants@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I also don’t understand how anyone could possibly not be a massive disappointment to their family without my patented Solutionbot 3600 that you can also take advantage of for just $$/month forever.
Money please!
thisphuckinguy@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Maybe because he’s an idiot?
nyan@lemmy.cafe 2 months ago
Given what he’s undoubtedly being paid, I’m sure hiring a nanny to look after his unfortunate offspring is well within his budget.

Which he can afford because of ChatGPT. Checkmate.

Your kids will grow up and hate you because you suck as a dad.
Stern@lemmy.world 2 months ago
For thousands of years people have raised their kids without the benefit of the moneypit 9000, Sam Altman is apparently dumber then a caveman.

Millions.

Has Sam Altman never heard of parenting books?
A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 2 months ago
books
??? I think I’ll have to ask ChatGPT whatever the fuck you’re talking about.
Zwuzelmaus@feddit.org 2 months ago
books
I guess he just didn’t like to buy a kindle.

That man had kids?🤦♀️
AHamSandwich@lemmy.world 2 months ago
One, through surrogacy. Did he ask AI to explain to him how to fill his little jizz cup?
Coolbeanschilly@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
This is why I’ve not used any of this AI, at least in an overt sense. I will not surrender my ability to think to a machine. This is what they want.
MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 2 months ago
That tracks.

What in the actual fuck ‽
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
Someone who says this is not a fit parent and should have their children taken away from them.

Poor little human . I mean the baby
percent@infosec.pub 2 months ago
Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if lots of new parents are asking LLMs for advice.
And before AI (and probably still), new parents probably googled a lot of things.
And before internet search engines, new parents probably checked out books from libraries.
turtlesareneat@discuss.online 2 months ago
Parenting books were serious business, whole generations were raised with Dr Spock for instance, who had fucked up ideas about childrearing.
It’s one thing to ask for tips on getting a baby to sleep, it’s another to ask it for formula recipes. Unfortunately I doubt most parents know the line where it becomes dangerous, but I am hoping here.
Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 months ago
before that it was Youtube, for certain things, which at least was somewhat helpful to niche questions.
Zenith@lemm.ee 2 months ago
It’s sad that all of our collective wisdom is so dead and gone people will turn to a glorified chatbot instead
xavier666@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Please be a bit considerate. It’s hard to form human connections when you are trying to be a plague on humanity.
GnuLinuxDude@lemmy.ml 2 months ago
On the one hand he’s supposed to be a very serious business genius at the forefront of the next wave of technological advancement. On the other, he’s just advertising to people how stupid he is.
Codpiece@feddit.uk 2 months ago
God forbid he should have asked his parents. Or the kids nanny.
shadowDingus@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
Seeing as ChatGPT was trained on other peoples’ books, articles, etc., it’s not surprising he says that.
Kinda slimy that he probably couldn’t even give sources for his new-found child wisdom. Y’know, because ChatGPT is a glorified corporate piracy machine using stolen data and aggregating it for morons like him to read instead of doing a google search.
Squizzy@lemmy.world 2 months ago
The AI hate is so weird, morons because we dont want to aggregate ourselves? The dangers are huge, the costs are ridiculous, the shareprice is bubbling. Its a heap of shit but your comment is just nonsense.
It is miles better to get aggregated information from multiple sources than read each source yourself. Consumers want convenience.
shadowDingus@lemmy.zip 1 month ago
I don’t believe the idea of aggregating information is bad, moreso the ability to properly vet your sources yourself.
I don’t know what sources an AI chatbot could be pulling from. It could be a lot of sources, or it could be one source. Does it know which sources are reliable? Not really. AI has been infamous for hallucinating even with simple prompts.
Being able to independently check where your info comes from is an important part of stopping the spread of misinfo. AI can’t do that, and, in it’s current state, I wouldn’t want it to try.
Convenience is a rat race of cutting corners. What is convenient isn’t always what is best in the long run.
AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world 2 months ago
That makes sense—being raised by ChatGPT might be marginally better than being raised by Sam Altman.
