In hundreds of thousands of years of human existence, an impossible question has surpassed our species: why is the baby crying?!
Sam Altman, who is the father of a 3 -month -old and the CEO of Openai, jumped Openai’s new podcast Today to talk about how his company affects his or her father’s experience. Altman, who describes himself as “extremely full childish”, said he was “constantly” using the chatgpt to ask baby behavior in the first weeks of his son’s life-which is a bit more installed, uses the chatgpt to raise the general questions of the children.
“I mean, clearly, people were able to take care of babies without chatgpt for a long time,” Altman said. “I don’t know how I would do that.”
This, obviously, is fundamentally different from baby questions, something that even the most well -prepared parents have been doing for decades. But given who Altman is, the choice of the tool on the internet he will use is no surprise.
Still, when the illusion remains a challenge for AI products, it may be to be imagined to be so much based on an AI conversation for child care answers.
But parents are known to be turning to many controversial sources for information in the middle of the night. My colleagues with the kids describe Google’s “Pitt Pitt” and the Parent Group Mine on Facebook. Is ChatGPT very different from taking someone’s advice online that insists that you are a neglected responsible if you do not base your baby’s time in the current phase of the moon?
Perhaps the idea of parents who use AI in search of answers for children is less than a “Primal Bell Alarm” than the idea of very young children who use it, which Altman also discussed.
“There is this video that has always been stuck with me by a baby, or a little little kid, with one of these old glossy magazines [tapping] the [cover]”Altman said. The child believed that the magazine was an ipad.” Children born now will believe that people have always had an extremely smart AI. “
Former Openai Communications Scientist Andrew Mayne, who interview with Altman, recalled to see a position of social media from a parent who used Chatgpt’s voice to talk to his child about his obsessions.
“He’s tired of talking to his child about Thomas the Tank Engine, so he put the chatgpt in a voice … an hour later, the child is still talking about Thomas the Train,” Mayne said.
“Kids love voice function,” Altman intervened.
As today’s parents turn to Chatgpt for all sorts of similar uses, this will probably end up reflecting the same repetitive reason about the “iPad Kid” generation (yes, it is probably bad to let your child attend “CoComelon” hours and hours, no, no, no time).
But existing media are at least, for the time being, created by a group of people, while Chatgpt policies Suggest that you don’t use children under the age of 13. It has no parental checks control. Even Altman knows the dangers, he said.
“Not everything will be good. There will be problems,” Altman said. “People will develop these somewhat problematic, or perhaps very problematic shorter relationships, and society should understand new protective messages.”
Altman is right. We do not fully know the effect of letting children speak to a large language model for the Thomas the Tank engine for an hour. But at the end of the day, Altman is the head of a huge company that spends billions and billions of dollars in the hope of building AI that is smarter than people and never forgets it in his messages.
“The upsides will be huge!” Said Altman. “Society is generally good at calculating how to mitigate the disadvantages.”
