@_elena IKR! I was now sitting here thinking of all the many qualities my son has. Thinking of three is absolutely no problem at all for me.
Why are people outsourcing their entire thought process to AI?!
@andycarolan Same vibes as Sam Altman suggesting that parents create a personalized GenAI podcast for the drive to school... (instead of actually talking to their children). These people are not well and they are responsible for widely deployed technologies. Critical thinking and digital media literacy are more important than ever.

But ouf, reading these words (which have been widely circulating online) has been painful, especially as a mom.
You can't think of 3 qualities that make your child special, so you ask an AI Assistant? NO, NO, NO, NO. UNACCEPTABLE.
I imagine Marielle reading this and my heart breaks for her.
@_elena The AI also came back with three of the most basic, common and expected responses. That alone should disqualify it.
I would never hold it against the daughter but if I were the teacher and there was a way to just kick mom out of the school... -

@_elena Those people love to accelerate everything for some LinkedIn clout. Even family estrangement. Disgusting.

@_elena Surely this is parody? Right?!
@speculationfictive I wish!

@_elena I remember when she made every remote yahoo employee come to the office while she built a nursery at her office exclusively for her daughter.
she is awful.

@_elena Oh yes… I remember reading about that… and found it horrifying! I worry about the long term effects on social skills and ability to communicate.
Are we entering an era of AI-first parenting? 🤯

@_elena it looks like an ad, to be honest. If the protagonist would have been a ciswhite heteroman, I would have believe it. «ALEXA: Daughter? Do I have a daughter?».

@_elena dear god. I hope this is just a misguided made up anecdote to sell her AI platform. However, it also wouldn't surprise me if this actually happened.

@cibersheep Mayer infamously went back to the office 2 weeks after giving birth (and she worked remotely the first week after the birth of her children).
I'm beginning to question how well she knows her own children - since bonding with them doesn't appear to be a priority. I feel terrible typing this, but what is the point of being a billionaire when you can't even take time off to spend precious time with your offspring? Isn't this the most important thing in life?

@datn indeed! Plus thinking about three qualities of your child is NOT a hard problem. It's the easiest thing!

To be fair, engineers are not famous for stuff like that. In that the only thing that changed in 20 years is that the person had someone (or some...THING..¹) to ask help from.

Mom Of The Year: I know so much about my daughter that I couldn't possibly think of three things my child's teacher won't be in any way marking or judging me for
Lie Machine: here's three generic things that would apply to any stereotypical female offspring
Mom Of The Year: Yes! I've achieved parenting!

@_elena I know, right? reportedly she was "overwhelmed" by the task.
i guess that given she saw it as hard, her approach ought to have been something like "*knuckle crack* let's begin with love"
instead it was "phone a fake friend made of stolen shit"

@_elena The hard part of this problem is limiting myself to three bullet points for my kids!
Still wouldn't use an AI.
-
@kasperd @_elena True, but at the same time if I were to program an AI I would let it seek for some of the most unique and original answers rather than the most common.
And, given that mom felt comfortable asking this question to AI, I would not be surprised if it was given much more info on the kid voluntarily by her already.

@_elena @andycarolan Tech is run by sociopaths. I cannot consider this in other terms any longer.
