It is very important that everyone know that this is not okay. It's not okay in any way.

With alt text. This is not okay. bsky.app/profile/disa...

Not only to DO this, but then tell the story to a REPORTER? As if it was a GOOD THING? Not okay in any way.

This terrible story makes me feel grief more than anything else.

Another terrible aspect of this is that Mayer treated this like a college application question, as if she's supposed to credentialize her kid as "creative" and "empathetic." But as a parent, when you're asked this, you're getting a chance to tell the teacher what your kid NEEDS.

This isn't about SHOWING OFF - this is about helping your kid get the guidance and support they need and deserve at school. But "A.i." just treated it like some bullshit recommendation line on an application form.

Look, every parent fucks up sometimes. We're all human; humans are imperfect; we're all making mistakes. But don't preemptively fuck up by using a goddamn chatbot to parent. Just be present with your kid. Jesus wept.

'When I asked Mayer if it’s somewhat depressing to imagine a frictionless future when birthday celebrations, holiday gifts and family vacations are planned by A.I., she seemed caught off guard. '“I haven’t really thought that through,” she said.' Yeah. We noticed. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/s...
