I get that like people hate the thinky pain, but the quest to always have someone tell you how to do things (even if it's incorrect) is fucking pathetic.

So easy a caveman can do it; but not a tech bro.

All bad jokes aside, I can't imagine a problem I had in raising my kids in the first 2 years that I think AI would've helped with.

Most things like that would've been lab reports and diagnosis from doctors which even Google searches just kind of caused more harm than good for me (harm being worry)

Any medical issue I'd say. It's gives you a good starting point, you can just query with the vague symptoms, "my kid is floating above the bed, screaming in Latin, but has no fever", and you'd get "it seems like your kid has pavor nocturnis, that happens with 13% of the kids, nothing to worry about they grow it out. If it happens more than once a week visit a doctor" - and now you at least what to look for. The alternative is to spend days unnecessarily with doctor visits, or ask your parents who either don't remember shit, call a priest, or told you not to look at the kid from above because it gives them a lazy eye among other things.

"If you only have a hammer, then every problem looks like a nail."

But even then, I find it alarming that he doesn't seem to know about the internet, libraries, or even just books, in general.

Or just asking friends and family for advice.

I can't decide if I'm grateful my childhood was AI free or horrified that I have to navigate the AI filled job market...

Poor kid. Is CPS already involved in this abuse case?

[–] PunnyName@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And here I am, not having kids at all. You know, a totally viable alternative.

Given the future we're headed towards, I'm very glad I chose not to reproduce.

A future without people? I'm picturing the first scenes from idiocracy.
