OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman is once again under fire on social media after proposing a new way parents could use ChatGPT, an idea that critics say could replace meaningful conversations between parents and children with AI.
The concept was to use AI to generate personalised podcasts for children on the morning journey to school. It quickly sparked heated debates across X, Reddit, and other online platforms. Some users greeted it as a practical solution, but others said it revealed a widening gap between Silicon Valley's AI vision and the value of real-world interaction.
