We should be using AI to automate work precisely so that we can spend more time reading to our children, not so that we can spend more time preparing our body and mind for the next day’s work.

I’m just realizing my dad never read to me because he was always working and I might be a little hung up about it.

You'll have kids identifying as cat people in no time with those ai bedtime stories

Why bother making kids if It's not to spend some quality time with them ?

Yeah umm I happen to really enjoy reading to my kids.

Dude, fuck everything about that.

Reading nightly bedtime stories to my kid from the time she was six months old until she was almost 12 years old was an awesome bonding experience that I would never relinquish to a goddamn bot.

Automating real work so you have time to create stronger families and children with better mental health is where it's at.

Not bad at all : I had a go with "The vampire who ate Carpets"

The vampire was always hungry. No matter how much he ate, he could never seem to get full. One night, he smelled something delicious coming from a nearby house. He followed the scent to a beautiful carpet, and he just couldn't resist. He sank his teeth into the soft fabric and started to feast.

The vampire went to the next house and smelled another delicious carpet. He started to eat, but after a few bites he realized that something was wrong. This carpet didn't taste right. In fact, it tasted terrible! He tried to spit it out, but it was too late. He was already sick.

The vampire had to go to the hospital, where he was treated for carpet poisoning. He was never able to eat carpets again, and he always made sure to check the label before he took a bite.

The end.

I don't see this as a negative. If this can be easily accessible maybe a kid can get bedtime stories red to them despite having absent parents.

Better than my parents who were always too busy drinking and fighting 🤣

Yeah I was joking about the not reading to your kids part..

Tech is ruining things. It’s creating distant, lazy, moody, easily manipulated people that don’t know how to cope in an economy that doesn’t compensate them. Birth rates are going down.

Yes you are correct.

The weird thing is people are designing AI to replace the creative jobs first…

Why???

Why the hell are we wasting time building auto music generators, auto story tellers, auto essay writers…

That’s the parts we’re supposed to be doing while the AI does the excel spreadsheets and the garbage dumping…

I work in automation to let people have more time with their families and work remotely.

Not so that we can work more…

I’m the same as you, our whole generation grew up without fathers because our fathers were too busy working.

Why stop there? Why not have AI raise your kids for you too. Take them to school. Even have an AI tell your kids it loves them twice a day in a gentle soothing voice.

This is one of those things….That is not OK for AI to do for you.

You are supposed to interact and be with your children…The bedtime story would be useless if it was told by anyone other than the parent.

It’s a form of binding and it’s a very intimate one.

Technology is only bad when it comes between the human connection.

Don’t put in “A Jew that wants to be a Nazi”. Not cool.

Seriously, who the hell are these miserable bastards who want to automate away the absolute best parts of being human?

"Why the hell are we wasting time building auto music generators, auto story tellers, auto essay writers" . A lot of people including me are bad at it lol. But more seriously to be entertained.

Watch “The Social Dilemma” on Netflix. … The attention of our population is under a stranglehold. Our information is sold so we get intrusive marketing to skew us to buy things we can’t afford. Our elected reps take behind-the scenes payola to do nothing or favors to big corporations. … Citizens United says corporations are people. I say then by default people are corporations too. Let people reap the benefits of big business. … Let’s slap lobbyists out of Congress & our elected officials at state level too. …

You know, in some parts of the world creatives and original thinkers get put against a wall and shot.

Unfettered imaginations > free minds > free societies.

In the civilized world, we do not murder creative people. We simply rob them of all purpose, denigrate true originality, push cynicism as a form of rebellion, and brain wash them as youths into thinking that the most subversive thing they can do is blow their brains out with drugs.

Yeah that’s true, it is entertaining af and fun.

I just hope the struggling writers and artists are ok 😱

And that's rising kids? Even I would not want to deal with my 10 year old self. I dont ever want kids. I thought the point was to automate everything so that no one has any responsibility.

I don’t think you understand. It makes the stories and then you read it

So many people in the comments missing the point omg. The ai makes the stories. YOU STILL READ THEM

They're not

I hope your parents doted on your 10 year old self.

To clarify - you still read the stories to your kids. This will just write a story on any subject they want!

Whomever uses this to replace themselves deserves whatever weird shit manifests in their kids.

I'm going to make it a point to refuse this type of outsourcing to my kids, they deserve better. If you absolutely need a tutor or something sure, but it's about connecting with your kid......missing the point thinking about interaction as a transaction where I sell story you pay by going to sleep

Same with you.

Ooooh, well that's way different of course. Then the title should really be "Writting* bedtime stories to your kids" instead of "Reading". I got mislead.

They don't care about humanity: they're busy engineering a new species entirely. People think AI is being developed in order to serve us. That's wrong. They're building it to surpass us.

This is the equivalent of Cro magnons or neanderthals seeing the emergence of homo sapiens and thinking that people were there to help them. Nothing could be further from the truth.

The idea that they are engineering a superior "species" is a perspective rooted in raw narcissism if ever I have seen one.

You did call them 'miserable bastards', no? How right you were...

This was so cool. Told it to write a story about a mouse wanting to be a lion, gave me a good chuckle

Ya, i was thinking the same as you originally. That makes way more sense.

This was suppose to be to spend time with your kids, not about the stories...

Next we should have an AI that plays catch with your kids and asks them how their day was, so you, their real parent, can keep playing WoW VR 24/7 without having to talk to them

I’m going to look into this. My kids and I like to listen to stories together, too.

What model do you use for story creation?

Finally an informed post.

I too got top notch writing and a little less good illustration very impressive.

You want $10 just so we can try it. Lol

parents coping hard in this thread lol
