I mean, 4 is a little young to be out and about socializing while mom or dad is at home doing other things.

That's definitely the sentiment in that post. Really the most charitable interpretation of a post that starts with "I had a rough week". I'm sure most parents would gladly spent more time interacting with and listening to their children, but most do have to work 40+ hours a week plus housework plus all the other shit one has to do as an adult, plus having the existential burden of living under late stage capitalism, none of which someone else does for you just because you had a baby.

It’s the sheer volume of talking that gets you. My oldest kid just cycles through a list of unreasonable things he wishes he had, or asks me questions and then argues with me about the answer I give him. When he’s telling me about something he did, or how his day went, or anything along those lines, I’m all ears.

To be fair to the average parent (not people who give their kids ChatGPT what the fuck), I'm sure it's less "I hate it when my children talk to me" and more "After the 20th time hearing it the discussion about Frozen starts to get old" or "Hearing this Jim Gill song for the 50th time today makes me want to throw the speaker out a window"

I wonder how many parents literally just don't know what kids are like until they have them.

Saw a kid at kindergarten having a phone while being there. I just... No, there is no hope.

Yes! This!

How did this person find it easier to set up speech to text for his son and text to speech for the AI (that part I assume might come standard) instead of just talking to his dang son some more?! And then after that, how did the AI understand the 4 year old (an age at which kids are known for perfect pronounciation etc.) perfecty enough to stay on one topic for hours? Or did the 4 year old know how to type well enough for the same thing to occur?

Does not pass the smell test. Smells instead of an ad trying to make AI seem competent.

what part is unrealistic? a parent being so incompetent that they let a chat bot parent their child, or a child (that's probably autistic) talking to a chat bot for that long?

I have a kid and letting them speak to the torment Nexus is not something i plan to ever do.

My kid's not annoying they're a child it's not like I expect them to be a "good hang" most of the time

I have a three year old and listening to him talk about something he's genuinely excited about is the highlight of my day.
