    As a parent who interacts with other parents, I can assure you some are.

    Yeah but they would have the self awareness to realise that this is shit parenting right?

    As someone who had to endure shit parents as a child: They don't.

    They will rather go win gold in mental gymnastics than to allow any form of self-awareness from developing, too.

    And then emotionally blackmail you to try and get you to take the blame for it

    Jokes on them, I never developed the emotional capacity needed to be able to be emotionally blackmailed, thanks to their shit parenting.

    I watched a presentation from a big tech company in which the presenter talked how, while his wife was giving birth, he saw that as an opportunity and asked AI to build a "nursery design" site because he could use his daughter as a model. People were praising him for being forward thinking about providing to his family, I just couldn't imagine being this greedy.

    I saw people from the same company eagerly discussing using AI to recreate dead relatives. It's disgusting how much these people are hypnotized by AI

    I said this the other day, it's a story. Regardless of whether or not it's ragebait it has a kernel of truth existing inside a story. Could this have happened, sure. Is it an objective truth? Most definitely not.
