OpenAI supremo Sam Altman says he 'doesn't know how' he would have taken care of his baby without the help of ChatGPT

That makes sense—being raised by ChatGPT might be marginally better than being raised by Sam Altman.

“It's difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on not understanding it." -Upton Sinclair

Somebody call CPS

I asked ChatGPT how Sam Altman would have taken care of his baby without the help of ChatGPT:

Sam Altman would’ve taken care of his baby the same way the rest of us did before his chatbot existed—by learning, asking, fumbling, caring, and figuring it out like a goddamn human.

Altman’s quote—“I don’t know how I would’ve done that”—feels less like a reflection on parenthood and more like an unintentional glimpse into the kind of disconnection that can happen when you believe your product is the answer to everything.

Of course, he’s not wrong that AI can be useful. But if your first thought when your newborn won’t sleep is to consult ChatGPT, that says more about your priorities than it does about parenthood.

That says a lot about how worthless if a human he is.

Well every other person that ever existed was raised without ChatGPT being necessary so just ask anyone.

I wonder how people have been doing it, since the beginning of time, with no help from technology.

Ya big fucking clown.

Edit:

Honestly bro what is it about tech bros being the biggest fucking losers on the face of this planet? I have more respect for street sweepers at this point

Just a big ol' WTF here...

Does he have a humiliation kink?

I believe the answer Sam is by being a parent and figuring shit out. Babies do very few things: eat, pee, burp, shit and sleep. If they have done all those things within a reasonable timeframe then it is likely they are hot, cold or otherwise uncomfortable. And some babies just want you to talk to them and hold them. After spending time raising your child you'll develop a sixth sense for what a cry is for so first you have to spend time with them.

Now, if you are filthy rich you shove the screaming sack of skin into the nearest nanny and GTFO. Later in life you'll wonder why your relationship is business like at best and transactional at worst with your kid, which you will lament to your therapist about, but still fail to have the self realization that it's because you were never a parent.

P. S. Please fall out a high rise window or down a very long hard flight of stairs ASAP.

In other words, he's an idiot.

Cute how he finds new ways every day to say: "I'm a loser."

I also don't understand how anyone could possibly not be a massive disappointment to their family without my patented Solutionbot 3600 that you can also take advantage of for just $$/month forever.

Money please!

Who tf would have a baby with that wanker?

Has Sam Altman never heard of parenting books?

Your kids will grow up and hate you because you suck as a dad.

For thousands of years people have raised their kids without the benefit of the moneypit 9000, Sam Altman is apparently dumber then a caveman.

Maybe because he’s an idiot?

Given what he's undoubtedly being paid, I'm sure hiring a nanny to look after his unfortunate offspring is well within his budget.

Someone needs to Chat CPS.

That tracks.

That man has kids?🤦‍♀️

On the one hand he's supposed to be a very serious business genius at the forefront of the next wave of technological advancement. On the other, he's just advertising to people how stupid he is.

Poor little human . I mean the baby

Someone who says this is not a fit parent and should have their children taken away from them.

Guys HE doesn't know how. Everyone else does, though. ^___

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if lots of new parents are asking LLMs for advice.

And before AI (and probably still), new parents probably googled a lot of things.

And before internet search engines, new parents probably checked out books from libraries.

Dawg, read a fucking book. Ask your parents. Ask your friends that are parents. Or just figure it out yourself. Feed, water, make sure they get lots of sunshine.

It’s sad that all of our collective wisdom is so dead and gone people will turn to a glorified chatbot instead

Seeing as ChatGPT was trained on other peoples' books, articles, etc., it's not surprising he says that.

Kinda slimy that he probably couldn't even give sources for his new-found child wisdom. Y'know, because ChatGPT is a glorified corporate piracy machine using stolen data and aggregating it for morons like him to read instead of doing a google search.

This is a good thing, because it's unlikely ChatGPT would suggest he molest his child as he did to his sister.

wtf m8

God forbid he should have asked his parents. Or the kids nanny.

We have mistaken rationality for a philosophy rather than a methodology, and efficiency for a virtue without any particular end in mind.

To have a unique, personal, subjective, divergent human experience is to sin against your prescribed algorithm.

@inclementimmigrant @technology Well, that’s a bit sad!

"I mean sure, the baby died, but I really wouldn't have known what to do at all without chatGPT! At least it gave me the proper procedure to follow after they died. Who knew you needed to make a post to eBay for a sale of used parts? I guess that's a medical code or something. I should ask ChatGPT!"

Don't get high on your own supply.

I’m not as anti AI as a lot of people here but trusting it with very important things is asking for trouble. It still randomly hallucinates and gives you bad info. Not as often as it used to but still not good enough to trust with your child’s health.

ChatGPT has taken my bread to the next level and helped me diagnose electronics problems way faster than I have figured out on my own, which is awesome. But it has also given me a blueberry muffin recipe with no wet ingredients and calculated bread hydration 10% too low. I can easily imagine a scenario where some tired parent asks it for a Motrin dose for an infant and gets a wildly wrong answer and injures their child.
