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.
Ledericas@lemm.ee 9 months ago
before that it was Youtube, for certain things, which at least was somewhat helpful to niche questions.

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.

That man had kids?🤦♀️
AHamSandwich@lemmy.world 9 months ago
One, through surrogacy. Did he ask AI to explain to him how to fill his little jizz cup?
shadowDingus@lemmy.zip 9 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 9 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 9 months 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.

Someone needs to Chat CPS.

I’m not as anti AI as a lot of people here but trusting it with very important things is asking for trouble. It still randomly hallucinates and gives you bad info. Not as often as it used to but still not good enough to trust with your child’s health.
ChatGPT has taken my bread to the next level and helped me diagnose electronics problems way faster than I have figured out on my own, which is awesome. But it has also given me a blueberry muffin recipe with no wet ingredients and calculated bread hydration 10% too low. I can easily imagine a scenario where some tired parent asks it for a Motrin dose for an infant and gets a wildly wrong answer and injures their child.
korazail@lemmy.myserv.one 9 months ago
Like many things, a tool is only as smart as the wielder. There’s still a ton of critical thinking that needs to happen as you do something as simple as bake bread. Using an AI tool to suggest ingredients can be useful from a creative perspective, but should not be assumed accurate at face value. Raisins and Dill? maybe ¯\(ツ)/¯, haven’t tried that one myself.
I like AI, for being able to add detail to things or act as a muse, but it cannot be trusted for anything important. This is why I’m ‘anti-AI’. Too many people (especially in leadership roles) see this tool as a solution for replacing expensive humans with something that ‘does the thinking’; but as we’ve seen elsewhere in this thread, AI CANT THINK. It only suggests items that are statistically likely to be next/near based on its input.
In the Security Operations space, we have a phrase “trust but verify”. For anything AI, I would use 'doubt, then verify" instead. That all said. AI might very well give you a pointer to the place to ask how much motrin an infant should get. Hopefully, that’s your local pediatrician.
Angelusz@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Fairly based. If you verify the output by visiting trusted medical sites, you won’t need a doctor for many things. Learn to do it on your own, become a medic. You have a kid, don’t rely on others for its survival. Only in emergency should a professional be needed.
There, nuance.

Given what he’s undoubtedly being paid, I’m sure hiring a nanny to look after his unfortunate offspring is well within his budget.

Poor little human . I mean the baby
atlien51@lemm.ee 9 months ago
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 9 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.

Maybe because he’s an idiot?

For thousands of years people have raised their kids without the benefit of the moneypit 9000, Sam Altman is apparently dumber then a caveman.

We have mistaken rationality for a philosophy rather than a methodology, and efficiency for a virtue without any particular end in mind.
To have a unique, personal, subjective, divergent human experience is to sin against your prescribed algorithm.

Does he have a humiliation kink?

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 9 months ago
Please be a bit considerate. It’s hard to form human connections when you are trying to be a plague on humanity.

Cute how he finds new ways every day to say: “I’m a loser.”
sturmblast@lemmy.world 9 months ago
In other words, he’s an idiot.
FanciestPants@lemmy.world 9 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!

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

What a gimp
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Hey, come on now! Don’t be like that! That’s totally uncalled for! Gimps are just living their best sexual fantasies within the context of safe and sensual consent. They’ve done nothing wrong!

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.
cygnus@lemmy.ca 9 months ago
This is a good thing, because it’s unlikely ChatGPT would suggest he molest his child as he did to his sister.

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.

“I mean sure, the baby died, but I really wouldn’t have known what to do at all without chatGPT! At least it gave me the proper procedure to follow after they died. Who knew you needed to make a post to eBay for a sale of used parts? I guess that’s a medical code or something. I should ask ChatGPT!”
Codpiece@feddit.uk 9 months ago
God forbid he should have asked his parents. Or the kids nanny.
