I mean, we all do that when we read books or watch movies.
Reading a book or watching a movie requires engaging your brain in some way. This guy isn't engaging his brain in any way whatsoever. He's completely offloaded this onto the AI.
However, this is still better than just plopping your kids in front of the TV, because at least they have to use their imagination in some way.
I agree tbh. How is having a story created, and then reading it different from just reading a book? The weird part is telling people about it on LinkedIn.
If the argument is that the parent always used to make up stories for the kids, and then that was replaced with AI, then sure, take away their parent of the year award.
Because booking are made with the intent to impart some meaning or lesson onto the children?
