OpenAI supremo Sam Altman says he 'doesn't know how' he would have taken care of his baby without the help of ChatGPT

I’m not as anti AI as a lot of people here but trusting it with very important things is asking for trouble. It still randomly hallucinates and gives you bad info. Not as often as it used to but still not good enough to trust with your child’s health.
ChatGPT has taken my bread to the next level and helped me diagnose electronics problems way faster than I have figured out on my own, which is awesome. But it has also given me a blueberry muffin recipe with no wet ingredients and calculated bread hydration 10% too low. I can easily imagine a scenario where some tired parent asks it for a Motrin dose for an infant and gets a wildly wrong answer and injures their child.

There's still a ton of critical thinking that needs to happen as you do something as simple as bake bread. Using an AI tool to suggest ingredients can be useful from a creative perspective, but should not be assumed accurate at face value. Raisins and Dill? maybe ¯\(ツ)/¯, haven't tried that one myself.
I like AI, for being able to add detail to things or act as a muse, but it cannot be trusted for anything important. This is why I'm 'anti-AI'. Too many people (especially in leadership roles) see this tool as a solution for replacing expensive humans with something that 'does the thinking'; but as we've seen elsewhere in this thread, AI CANT THINK. It only suggests items that are statistically likely to be next/near based on its input.
In the Security Operations space, we have a phrase "trust but verify". For anything AI, I would use 'doubt, then verify" instead. That all said. AI might very well give you a pointer to the place to ask how much motrin an infant should get. Hopefully, that's your local pediatrician.

Kinda slimy that he probably couldn't even give sources for his new-found child wisdom. Y'know, because ChatGPT is a glorified corporate piracy machine using stolen data and aggregating it for morons like him to read instead of doing a google search.

Learn to do it on your own, become a medic. You have a kid, don't rely on others for its survival. Only in emergency should a professional be needed.
There, nuance.

And before AI (and probably still), new parents probably googled a lot of things.
And before internet search engines, new parents probably checked out books from libraries.

It's one thing to ask for tips on getting a baby to sleep, it's another to ask it for formula recipes. Unfortunately I doubt most parents know the line where it becomes dangerous, but I am hoping here.

It is miles better to get aggregated information from multiple sources than read each source yourself. Consumers want convenience.

schrieb am 25. Juni 2025, 21:16 zuletzt editiert vonI don't believe the idea of aggregating information is bad, moreso the ability to properly vet your sources yourself.
I don't know what sources an AI chatbot could be pulling from. It could be a lot of sources, or it could be one source. Does it know which sources are reliable? Not really. AI has been infamous for hallucinating even with simple prompts.
Being able to independently check where your info comes from is an important part of stopping the spread of misinfo. AI can't do that, and, in it's current state, I wouldn't want it to try.
Convenience is a rat race of cutting corners. What is convenient isn't always what is best in the long run.
