Sam Altman promotes ChatGPT Work as a parenting assistant, draws criticism for replacing conversations with children
OpenAI head Sam Altman proposed using ChatGPT Work to connect family calendars and generate morning podcasts about children instead of having a personal conversation. The critical reply from Gravity Falls creator Alex Hirsch has received significantly more engagement than Altman’s original post.
The proposal to replace a morning conversation with children with an AI-generated podcast about their interests and schedules shows the direction in which OpenAI is pushing the use of ChatGPT into intimate family situations – the public response suggests that many people see such use as a replacement for personal contact, rather than a supplement to it.
