A sad indictment of poor parenting

I was in my hardressers last week running my mouth off chatting about the damage AI is doing to society when the apprentice hair dresser, a stunningly good looking and intelligent young woman, piped in.

Oh, you mean ai assistants, its OK. I use it all the time. I did all my college work with an ai assistant and I passed all my exams.

I went on to warn her of her brain atrophying through lack of use.

They thought I was mad old retired bloke!

That’s the saddest thing I’ve read today 😢

@_elena It is sad that she doesn't know her own daughter. But there are so many male CEOs who know even less about their children and that seems to get far less comment.

Marissa is an absolute failure of a human. What a piece of shit. I hope her kid destroys everything she ever built.

@_elena Marissa Mayer is a pathetic idiot.

@_elena the assignment seems suspicious. Too ai I will say.

@_elena I had a friend of mine have AI write a best man speech for one of the wedding he was at. I told him if I ever got married and he did that to me. We’d have a big problem.

How many parents think so little of their children that they cannot acknowledge that their children are strangers. AI and parental neglect is a rising issue.

Does these peopke farm out parenting entirely to paid staff too?

So much so that they doesn't know their own kids well enough to identify elements of their character?

Too many kids become unfamilar with their fathers this way. Mothers adopting the same route is so sad.

@_elena I hope Marissa is saving for Marielle's therapy, poor girl is going to need it 😭

@_elena It's also really interesting.

She actually explicitly states the issue here: decidophobia. A term Kaufmann came up with but of course AI is churning out articles on now. She was overwhelmed by the number of choices and froze, like a deer in headlights.

She could have used a random generator and it would have served the same purpose. It didn't matter what it came up with, she just needed a decision to be made and is herself incapable of such things.

A really extreme case.

@_elena Jesus.

That's dark.

I knew that parents kinda sorta suck these days, given the vast proliferation of screen addicts, but the thought of outsourcing complimenting your kids to a LLM is just depressing.

@_elena She has serious problems if she can't answer that without AI help. Normal people should know their children well and narrow down to 3 points if you come up with too many.

She sounds useless with her AI Dazzle.

@_elena this is the result of ai addiction. When you overuse it, simple tasks become unsolvable. Your brain is internally competing and giving in to what it has learned to be the quickest solution. Not able anymore to think independently and be creative.
