Throughout hundreds of thousands of years of human existence, it has been an impossible question in our species: Why is the baby crying?!
Sam Altman, who is the father of a 3 -month -old man and Openai CEO The new Openai podcast Today to talk about how your company affects your experience with paternity. Altman, describing himself as “extremely evicted for children”, said he was “constantly” using Chatgpt to ask questions about the behavior of babies during the first weeks of his child’s life, now that he is a little more resolved, he is using Chatgpt to ask more general questions about children’s development stages.
“I mean, clearly, people have been able to take care of the babies without chatgpt for a long time,” Altman said. “I don’t know how I would have done it.”
This is obviously not fundamentally different from googling’s frantic questions about babies, which has even been doing well for decades. But, given who is Altman, his choice of the Internet tool to use is no surprise.
Still, when hallucination It is still a challenge for AI products, it may be to imagine trusting so much in a chat for baby care responses.
But parents have been known for a questionable source of midnight information. My children with children describe Google’s “bottomless moat” and minus field of parenting Facebook groups. Chatgpt is really very different than taking someone’s online advice insisting you are a careless caregiver if you don’t base your baby’s bed time on the current moon phase?
Perhaps the idea of the parents who use and in search of children’s breeding answers is less a “primary alarm bell” than the idea of very young children who use it, which Altman also discussed.
“There is this video that has always stuck me with a baby or a little boy, with one of these bright magazines (touching) the (cover),” Altman said. The child thought the magazine was an iPad. “Children born now will only think that the world always had an extremely smart AI.”
Andrew Mayne, who interviewed Altman, recalled seeing a publication on a parent’s social networks using Chatgpt’s voice to talk to his son about his obsessions.
“He tired of talking to his son of Thomas the engine of the tank, so he put Chatgpt in voice mode … An hour later, the child continues to talk about Thomas the train,” Mayne said with joy.
“Children love voice mode,” Altman intercepted.
As current parents go to Chatgpt for all kinds of similar uses, this will probably end up reflecting the same repetitive speech around the “iPad Kid” generation (yes, it is probably bad to let your child watch over hours and hours of “cocomelon”; no, it is not just to wait for parents to occupy their children’s time 24/7).
But the existing children’s media is, for now, created by a team of humans, while Chatgpt’s policies We recommend not used by children under 13. Does not have a revised parental control mode. Even Altman is aware of the risks, he said.
“Not everything will be good. There will be problems,” Altman said. “People will develop these a little problematic, or perhaps very problematic parasocial relationships, and society will have to discover new steps.”
Altman is correct. We do not know at all the effect of letting children speak with a large language model on Thomas’ tank engine for an hour. At the end of the day, Altman is the chief of a massive company that spends billions and billions of dollars in the hope of building an AI smarter than humans, and never forgets their messaging.
“The advantages will be huge!” Altman said. “Society in general is good to find out how to mitigate the disadvantages.”
