Reminds me of my favorite; Sam Altman suggested using Open AI to create a podcast based on your kids' interests to listen to on the way to school. The top comment was "Just talk to your kids."
I am reminded of the scene in Parks and Rec where the schools need to be closed for a day and parents are freaking out. One asks, "you're saying I should keep my kids at home? Where I live?"
This was some parents during Covid though. People were so mad they had to spend time with their families 😭😂
I mean, it could definitely be useful to listen to a podcast together with your kids, as a way of bonding. But... why not listen to a podcast made by humans? There are sooo many!
But yes, talk with your kids! the kids will talk nonstop if they see you're actually listening :)
They key is to actually focus your attention on your kids instead of playing with "ai" instead of your kids.
Yup! Listen to them, talk to them! Treat them as people!
Many years ago I worked for a small research company that was trying to find applications for voice assistant technology. This was before LLMs mind you, so even more useless than today. One of their projects was “make an ai that will talk to your grandparents and transcribe their stories”.
I told them that if my kids did that to me I’d just never speak to them again.
They tried anyway, and surprise — it went nowhere.
Iirc someone on the selhosted com recently built this exact thing. An AI tool that asks family members questions about their lives and transcribes it into a digital scrapbook thing.
Literally made me sick.
Honestly, if it was more of an assistant that just sat alongside you and just did the recording, that would be dope as fuck.
I'm still sad that I don't have a lot of memories of my grandparents, partially just age, but somewhat because I was an ungrateful little shit. I sat and listened to them talk a lot when I was a kid, and what memories I still have are gold. A tool like that could have helped keep what I had rather than being left with what time and CTE haven't taken.
Couldn’t one just use a laptop or phone to record a conversation with The Elders and then manually transcribe it later?
One could, but I know my ADHD ass would never get around to transcribing them. The videos would be nice either way, tho.
"Use OpenAI to maintain an ongoing conversation with your elders so you don't have to" would be more honest.
