Sam Altman Turns Parenting Into Tech Propaganda Thanks to Fallon’s Softball Questions, Says He Can’t Raise a Baby Without ChatGPT

>OpenAI CEO Sam Altman made his late-night debut on The Tonight Show, and in true Silicon Valley fashion, he used the opportunity to frame himself as both disruptor and dad, offering up a new kind of paternal humility in which even basic child-rearing requires artificial intelligence.
>Altman, who recently claimed that “children in the future will only know a world with AI in it,” continues to frame technology as both inevitable and essential. It’s a worldview that anybody with a brain could argue positions AI not as a tool that should be scrutinized and regulated, but as a lifestyle philosophy the rest of us must adapt to.
Characters like Altman would be imprisoned and put into forced reeducation camp in China, given their danger to woder society….in America they are anointed as loving gods.
Ah yes. The hard-hitting journalist extraordinaire Jimmy Fallon. I heard when he’s questioning you it’s like your balls are in a vice.
Does anyone actually expect him to serve up anything but softball questions?
These guys all read scifi novels that warned about future dystopias, and they thought that sounded pretty cool.
snake oil salesman says he couldn’t possibly raise kid without snake oil. snake oil salesman says everyone should use snake oil.
Courtroom someday:
“Your honor, I asked chat gpt if my idea to feed my baby only asparagus was a good idea. It agreed with me. I didn’t murder my baby, the machine did.”
These chat bots aren’t actual intelligence. They’re word vomit machines that are programmed to agree. To “yes, and” whatever inane nonsense you throw at it.
I just don’t know how life survived this last four billion years without ChatGPT. I wonder how long it will survive with it…
I mean, did they train the AI data model on Daniel Tiger? Because if that’s true I also can’t raise my kid without “ChatGPT“
I mean, he already comes across as a soporific thicko; not sure what one could otherwise expect.
Hell, I guess I’m smarter than Sam Altman considering my wife and I are currently raising our kid without any AI chat bot.
Where’s my billions? 😆
Why the hell is this guy doing talk shows? Oh wait to promote the snake oil.
“Hey chatGPT, can I let my kid drink lead paint? He really seems to like it.”
“What a great question, your kid probably enjoys drinking lead paint due to its tangy flavors. If you would like, I could recommend some which types of broken glass your kid could snack on while drinking lead paint?”
If you need a LLM to tell you how to be an adult and how to raise a kid, you deserve neither, and shod lose both.
please make sure that psychopath never raises a child
What a pathetic human and father. It just shows that these execs don’t understand basic humanity and connection.
Which isn’t at all surprising.
Funny how plenty of people can do it. Perhaps Sam is an idiot?
I saw an ad for a chatbot that answers texts from your kids pretending to be you…if my parents used that on me I would have trust issues for the rest of my life and i would never respect them.
Remember, Sam’s one and *only* job is to make sure the stock price keeps going up. View everything he says through that lens.
These tech bros are so fucked up on a bizarre level.
Fuck anyone who tries to make this worm a celebrity. God damn it…
To be fair, I fully believe Sam Altman couldn’t raise a child without AI. I’d bet he can’t do it with AI, either.
Faltman speedrunning ruining PR, atleast people used to consider Musk genius for a while
I hate Altman as much as the next guy but you gotta admit that when you have a quick question about this or that, where the stakes are relatively low, using an llm to get a quick answer is faster than parsing webmd, mayo clinic, wikipedia and 3 pediatrician’s youtube feeds.
Now if the stakes are anything but low, of course call the pros.
Maybe my expectations are too high but this interview made me really disappointed in Jimmy. Sam wasn’t out here promoting a movie or TV show. He’s a billionaire promoting a fairly novel form of technology that is bound to have a huge impact on human societies. He does not deserve praise. He should be challenged with tough questions about the implications of AI in the future. I’m tired of the media treating tech billionaires as heroes of humanity.
Why are people giving bajillions of dollars to a company run by a guy who seemingly would struggle with babysitting, something my thirteen year old can do just fine?
If you can’t raise a baby without AI maybe you shouldn’t have a baby?
Jimmy Fallon isn’t grilling anyone. It’s a late night show with goofs and celebrities hawking their newest movie or show. The questions are chosen and rehearsed ahead of time.
He didn’t say he “he can’t raise a baby without chatgpt”. He said he can’t imagine it because it’s been so integral for him whilst immediately acknowledging that obviously it’s very possible to raise kids without chatgpt. It’s just a turn of phrase that people are gettin all excited about
Guess him and his husband lack that motherly maternal instincts.
Why are people allowed to make such insane and dangerous claims? The idea that a chatbot could replace human judgement and/or a pediatrician is not only laughably incorrect, it is also wildly dangerous. I like how this is totally fine, but if a black man is selling cigarettes on a sidewalk, this act is punishable by death.
I guess these tech billionaire will die out when their precious phones start misbehaving
ON THE OTHER HAND…
Maybe we should study what happens to human development when exposed to chat bots before we unleash them on a whole generation.
What idiots. Have we learned nothing from what tablets and social media have done? (Rhetorical question, the answer is: “no, we have learned nothing.”)
I think the snakeoil works a little better than google for a variety of questions. Altman still lizard man vibes.
The only Sam Altman interview that matters is the one where Tucker Carlson suggests to Altman that an OpenAI employee was murdered for leaking info.
I’m really tired of seeing this guy’s face everywhere.
I would put money down that chat gpt could raise a kid better than the average parent today.
Good humans outclass robots. But robots outclass the average human and the average human is amazingly inept at things. Why do you think iPad kids are so popular and common?
Robots didn’t give those kids iPads and robots didn’t produce cocomelon and tik tok. Most toxic media on tik tok is human produced.
Fallon is a shill. It’s so obvious. Gelatinous man.
