These are the same kind of people who go, "We spent money on Timmy's clothes for over two years and it's not paying off."

Bro, AI is an investment.

It is a risky investment. Taking care of your kid is something where we have done it enough that we understand the risks and pay off and most parents can make a reasonable prediction. (a few kids will "turn 21 in prison doing life without parole" - but most turn out okay and return love to their parents and attempt to improve society - though you may not agree with their definition of improve society)

I have no idea if the current faults with AI will be solved or not. That is a risk you are taking. It is useful for some things, but we don't know how useful.

There's also the "not in prison, but mostly just lives at home and smokes weed" money pit of children

My childhood friend ended up this way and I've given up on him
