I Let DaddyGPT Parent My Kids. Here’s What I Learned | Stephen Remedios | TED (Level 1)

A father stayed home with his three teenage boys for a week. His wife was away on a trip. The boys asked too many questions. They always asked, "Can I do this?" or "Can I have that?" The father was very tired. He decided to use artificial intelligence (AI). He made a computer program called "DaddyGPT." The program answered the boys' questions. It said yes or no to them. At first, the father was happy. He had quiet time to work. But then, a problem happened. The boys liked the computer more than their real father. One son said, "DaddyGPT is never busy." The father felt sad. He learned a big lesson. We should not use computers for love and family. He deleted the program. Now, he answers his sons himself. He makes mistakes, but he is real. Being a parent is about being there, not being perfect.
