Avoiding the obvious reference to fiddling, I think these tech companies need kids to be as reliant and addicted to their products as possible. TikTok and Youtube were the trailblazers in the electronic addiction economy.

This is what someone needs to push, you know why, I know why, now let the world know why!!

Adults are stubborn and set in their ways. Kids are easier to mould to new ideas.

If they can get the kids hooked on AI tools, they'll run with it until they're old enough to be making the decisions and by then they'll want the tools they've grown up using: AI.

It's a marketing strategy, and an effective one at that.

That, and Altmans probably got a comfortable seat on the Epstein list.

Because they want the next generations to be as completely addicted to and reliant on their product for everything as possible. And because he's rich, and has rich friends, so... you know. :/

He's kind of the most evil business man ever, because:

• he believes/knows climate change to be real
• he understands that society reducing its energy consumption has the power to reduce or reverse climate change
• nonetheless, Sam Altman sells a product that does almost nothing, (certainly doesn't do what it says on the tin very well)
• and is relying on everyone massively increasing their energy consumption to power the roll-out of this.

How else are they going to sell targeted advertising?

his master, anti-christ thiel demands it thats why.

Toy Story 6: Bonnie gets abducted by Altman.

When your goal is to control the masses that’s exactly what you want.

Common W moment

Right? It's not like the kid's soccer game is part of the AI's programming, it won't know anything about it that you don't tell it. It can't go over who they're playing against, or give their record so far, or provide any other new information about it, so what exactly is it going to say?

Then the birthday will still be "coming up" every day until the day itself arrives, so what is there to say about that that would be interesting and new on a daily drive?

That just leaves "some news," at which point you might as well turn on the radio, or put on a real podcast.

Doesn't matter so long as Altman just got geographic time stamps of where you your spouse your children and what activities they like to participate in at all times.

Garbage in garbage out

Likely all anyone puts in the calendar is "Simon's basketball game" so it will at best reference basketball and Simon playing it and have some fake podcaster say, "And don't forget about that basketball game at 8pm!", and at worst invent/hallucinate tons of details it could never know.

One thing that worries me is even the c level executives offer the worst ideas when it comes to AI and their own AI products. Like, AI can manage to do a lot of useful stuff, but also a lot of terrible use cases... This being one. It takes 1 minute to glance at your week's schedule. An AI podcast invites the worst kind of hallucinations. Whenever you give it a tiny bit of information and expect more back than you gave it like upscaling, you invite the worst hallucinations and inaccuracies.

The fact that they're still struggling to make it sound relevant means they don't even believe in it as much as they're trying to sell it. Bubble is bound to pop soon with this sort of weird behavior... Seems like a year ago they were talking about the machine god being here by now, and now they're like "hey did you know this thing can make a fake podcast?" Yeah I fucking knew that, it was a stupid use case 2 years ago and it's a stupid use case now.

That's what I was thinking about. In theory there could be a cool idea here. But using AI to do it would just give shitty results. But you could actually do a little research and find a few short articles or stories about things your kid is interested in, and then feed them into a decent TTS and edit it together like a podcast. Then where they would normally take a pause for an ad read have a little shout out wishing your kid a happy birthday or wishing them luck on their exams or competition or whatever. I think it could actually be pretty neat, and give you something to chat about while you listen, and having the little personalized messages would feel like magic to the kid, because it's kind of like getting a shout out on Radio/Television. It can be exciting and make you feel bigger than just your small social bubble. It's exciting to have a little 30 seconds of fame.

But obviously Altman is just grasping at straws to shill his product, and hasn't put this much thought into it.

There are versions of these machine learning and statistical programs that are making headway in all sorts of medical research. That was, and is still happening.

I am starting to think that this whole ai push, along with making all these companies insane amounts of money at the cost of regular folks, is ultimately to further attack the human intelligence. The number of people I know personally and secondhand that let chatgpt make all their decisions, even the simplest ones. And they'll use it as a truth source, treat it like a person (it's not even anything close to approaching intelligence). It's going to go poorly for us as a whole.

These people are using the hallucination generator to hallucinate hallucinations that help them hallucinate more hallucinations
