@_elena wow, talk about losing your brain capacity 😿 it’s your daughter! And for goodness sake, ask another human who knows your daughter if you’re having “writer’s block” also, you as a mom are not in school anymore your daughter is? You don’t need to get an A on this assignment 😹😿 (referring to the mother in the post)

@_elena this actually hits close to home, as we were tasked with the same thing for our kid who is 7. Tbh I was trying to get a perfect word that meant “confident but wrong most of the time”. English is not my primary language. I DID ask Alexa. (suggested ‘Earnest’). But I did come up with the first two qualities (energetic and curious) all by myself tyvm

I suspect the reason this was difficult was more wanting to optimize impression management than not knowing her daughter. What can I say that will make my daughter popular, help her get into a top college, look good when she’s asked about it in her future media profiles, etc.

And the algo gave what sounds to me like an absolute stereotype of a 10 year old girl.

I can see how the teacher may be well intentioned, but this whole exercise feels pretty fraught to me.

And I thought my boomer parents were lousy! At least they always could find something to brag about when other people asked.

Elena

have you considered the possibility that Mayer just made this up, as a very very ill concieved PR stunt to boost here AI which is called "dazzle" ?

or that her daughter told her about this at the very last minute and Mayer, like **all parents got flustered ?

@_elena That's like the guy from Suno, who said the goal is to remove the chore of creating music.

Maybe if Marielle learns to ask the chatbot directly, then Marissa would have more free time, removing the chore of having kid?

@_elena Narrator: In reality, her daughter is a bully who cheats on tests and kicks puppies.

@_elena - it was the first thing I thought about it: how coome a mom doesn´t know three "bullet points summerizing" her daughter... it cannot be true.

@_elena

Holy what the actual fuck?!

Perhaps Mom doesn't really know her kid after all.

@_elena
Is there a 10yo out there who doesn't love animals?
Such a generic answer. What else? Does the daughter also have two legs?

@_elena lots of similar stories coming out from techbros as well. They relay these stories as life optimization hacks. What the hell!?!? Why did you even have kids?

Just a couple of weeks ago, some techbro was bragging about the idea to train an AI on his voice so it could read any story to his kid. Dude! You're doing it wrong, reading to your kids is one of the great joys of parenting!

Sam Altman talked about using AI to get talking points for use with his kid.

These people are so weird.

@_elena How careless a mother she is that she had to ask AI for her daughter's special points!?
You know, being a pro-AI person, I think this woman fails being a mother.

She probably wouldn't have been stressed at all thinking of three bullet points describing her ai.

@_elena What can one expect? These people are nothing but cruel morons. Sociopathic narcissists. Fuck them all.
