so, instead of reading one short children's storybook he wants to... train an entire AI voice model to do something that is supposed to be a bonding experience for a parent and child? 🤔

It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.

I don't know how to even describe this guy other than to say he's a worthless person whose existence does not and will not add anything of value to humanity or the world. That's basically just how he explained his own existence and role in relation to those around him.

Part of my education was agriculture-based at a time when AI meant 'Artificial Insemination', a technique still used today in certain livestock sectors of agriculture. It is that phrase which first comes to mind whenever the acronym 'AI' is mentioned!

I suspect this specific example may be satire. Assuming it's not, the AI is an enabler for a person who was already a poor father. We give it the things we didn't want to do anyway and if that robs of something precious, we need to consider our priorities.
