A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Well, to play devil's advocate: Confronting children with AI early on prepares them for what's to come. If he teaches about the dangers, the advantages and disadvantages it's good to do so early on so the kids can understand what they are dealing with. They will be exposed to it anyway so it's good to talk and learn about it.
That being said: I don't think this is what he meant by that.
You mean like raising your children in a Nazi environment prepares you by teaching you the dangers, advantages, and disadvantages of Nazism? (Protip: Children brought up by Nazis tend to become Nazis.)
Or maybe children brought up as Christians are prepared by seeing the dangers, advantages, and disadvantages of belief in the Sky Daddy? (Protip: People brought up in religious households tend to be of that religion.)
Yeah, teaching children about that AI exists, what it does and doesn't is the same as raising a child as a nazi. What are you on about? Of course teaching about the cruelties of the nazis is crucial to prevent it from happening again.
Or are you saying this guy is an ai? And raising their children as ai? Nazis believing their children should become a nazi doesn't mean the rest of society should not know and be thought about national socialism.
Fuck AI, but knowing about it is key to defeating it. Misinformation will not help destroy it.
He's not teaching them about the limits of AI. He's using AI to replace parenting. This is not someone who is critical about AI and teaching people how to contend with it. This is someone who's passing around the Kool-Aid.
I didn't say otherwise.
He uses it to homeschool them
