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

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.

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

Just a big ol' WTF here...
Forget chatgpt, I'm appalled that he reproduced.
Through surrogacy. He’s gay.
You're telling me that another man wanted him at all? Or did he kinda just get a surrogate?
He’s married.
I mean why are you surprised, he’s not a bad looking guy and is very successful.

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.
Has Sam Altman never heard of parenting books?
books
??? I think I'll have to ask ChatGPT whatever the fuck you're talking about.

That tracks.
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.
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.

Guys HE doesn't know how. Everyone else does, though. ^___^
wtf m8
This is a good thing, because it's unlikely ChatGPT would suggest he molest his child as he did to his sister.
"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!"
