There is no difference between these guys.

This would amuse my grandmother, born in 1890, who had two kids of her own before she was 20 and then took on my brother and I in the 1950s...

Soon making a baby will also be impossible without ChatGPT

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

For instance, he purportedly asked ChatGPT why his newborn son kept “dropping pizza on the floor and laughing.” He even admitted to hiding in a bathroom during a social gathering to ask the tool whether it was normal for his child not to be able to walk at just six months.

Why are you giving pizza to a newborn?

I am now worried for the child.

[Jamestown1630]

More likely it will give incorrect instructions.

After all, AI has often created images of humans with extra fingers or three legs...

[kosciusko51]

Sounds like he is so dependent on AI, he has become a functional moron.

"This would amuse my grandmother, born in 1890, who had two kids of her own before she was 20 and then took on my brother and I in the 1950s..."

It amuses me as a 78 year old woman with two sons in their mid and late 50's. I didn't even rely on Dr. Spock like my mother did to raise all of us born in the 40's. People who reply on ChatGPT are lazy, and can't think for themselves. They need someone to run their lives because they are too stupid to do it for themselves. Just another form of welfare...ChatGPT being mental support welfare.

"I am now worried for the child."

People that helpless shouldn't be allowed to have children.

[Jamestown1630]

AI has legitimate uses.

I dislike indiscriminate fear of it as much as I dislike stupid expectations of it.

"I dislike indiscriminate fear of it as much as I dislike stupid expectations of it."

I'm not afraid of AI. At 78 years of age, there is nothing AI can help me with that I can't do for myself. Unless AI can get up and take a piss 15 times a day for me, so I don't have to do it myself, then there's nothing AI can help me with.

Definition of an educated idiot.

The other day I made biscuits. Soft flour, salt, baking soda, butter, buttermilk. I could make them in my sleep. Probably have.

I was asked how I could make them with out a recipe.

Eh?

Five ingredients. Whisk, grate, mix, fold, cut, bake. Done.

Why would I need a recipe?

Apparently the only slightly younger then me person could not fathom making something without Alexa to hold her hand.

It is like they can't remember how to do something that they have done dozens of times.

LOL!

My parents had Mr. Spock’s guide to logical child care. Most of the advice was pretty good except for putting me in the freezer for Altarian Blood Fever when they saw that my blood was red.

I feel bad for children who have parents who can’t think for themselves. My first thought was a very cold sterile environment.

[Jamestown1630]

I don’t do ‘Alexa’; but the Internet was useful today when I wanted a recipe for Indian Pudding.

(The Internet IS AI; and you use AI all the time.)

Of course he is going to say stuff such as this, because he has made beaucoup bucks from the technology. I find it hard to believe someone such as this is that big of a buffoon at the simple, common aspects of life. He wants to know why his six-month-old doesn’t walk yet? He can ask any mother.

I have about thirty years on Altman and grew up in a world that, in terms of technology, seems like ancient times. The average person never dreamed of the technology that is now part of our everyday lives. Somehow we got along pretty well. I am a daily user of technology too, but my experience in that ancient world helps me to judge what technology is important for my life, and which is non-essential.

[GreatRoad]

Sam Altman sounds like an old time gypsy snake oil salesman.

"Most of the advice was pretty good except for putting me in the freezer for Altarian Blood Fever when they saw that my blood was red."

ROFL!! My mother believed that the four of us kids had to regularly have enemas. She'd use Ivory hand soap to make a frothy mixture then inject it in our butts with an enema bulb full of the stuff. Thankfully, she only did it to us one at a time, because we only had one toilet, and that shit worked fast. God only knows what damage she did to our innards back then. I never gave my to sons enemas after having experienced that as a kid.
