That makes sense—being raised by ChatGPT might be marginally better than being raised by Sam Altman.

Somebody call CPS

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 60 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] BassTurd@lemmy.world 48 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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

I wonder how people have been doing it, since the beginning of time, with no help from technology.

Ya big fucking clown.

Edit:

Honestly bro what is it about tech bros being the biggest fucking losers on the face of this planet? I have more respect for street sweepers at this point

[–] garretble@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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.

It's like that one thing: "Who would you notice is gone first, the CEO or the janitor?"

Does he have a humiliation kink?

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just a big ol' WTF here...

[–] db2@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Forget chatgpt, I'm appalled that he reproduced.

[–] Plebcouncilman@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Through surrogacy. He’s gay.

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're telling me that another man wanted him at all? Or did he kinda just get a surrogate?

[–] Plebcouncilman@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

He’s married.

I mean why are you surprised, he’s not a bad looking guy and is very successful.

[–] Telorand@reddthat.com 11 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Calling him successful is technically true, but it kind of glosses over some very pertinent details of his success. He's a billionaire, and you don't get to be a billionaire without doing a lot of monstrous things to good people.

The surprise isn't whether he's good looking enough to get a partner. The surprise is over the fact that there's another human being who thinks that those are qualities worth overlooking, especially one who's queer, since billionaires like Sam Altman support the current regime that's wholly against LGBTQ+ folks. And that same person with questionable tastes in partners wanted to take care of another human being with Sam Altman.

In other words, he's an idiot.

[–] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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.

P. S. Please fall out a high rise window or down a very long hard flight of stairs ASAP.

[–] Zwuzelmaus@feddit.org 20 points 1 year ago

Cute how he finds new ways every day to say: "I'm a loser."

[–] FanciestPants@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year 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!

[–] compostgoblin@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Has Sam Altman never heard of parenting books?

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 18 points 1 year ago

books

??? I think I'll have to ask ChatGPT whatever the fuck you're talking about.

Maybe because he’s an idiot?

[–] nyan@lemmy.cafe 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Which he can afford because of ChatGPT. Checkmate.

Altman: How do i care for my child?

Your kids will grow up and hate you because you suck as a dad.

[–] Stern@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

One, through surrogacy. Did he ask AI to explain to him how to fill his little jizz cup?

[–] MITM0@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

What in the actual fuck ‽

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 year ago

Someone who says this is not a fit parent and should have their children taken away from them.

[–] percent@infosec.pub 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

Dawg, read a fucking book. Ask your parents. Ask your friends that are parents. Or just figure it out yourself. Feed, water, make sure they get lots of sunshine.

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.

God forbid he should have asked his parents. Or the kids nanny.

[–] cygnus@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

This is a good thing, because it's unlikely ChatGPT would suggest he molest his child as he did to his sister.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Poor kid is doomed

[–] kibiz0r@midwest.social 5 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 4 points 1 year ago

"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!"
