In today's "Sad as Hell" AI news:
A baby raised on AI tried to change its mother from "Medium Effort" to "Max Effort". The baby, who was brought up with unmonitored access to AI tools, believed that it could change its mother's behavior via a chat setting. The baby's misunderstanding demonstrates the frightening impact of LLMs on how young people perceive the world.
The baby's misconception of the mother speaks volumes about the effect of technology on early child development. While we have the privilege of knowing AI technology is an imitation of human behavior, children do not know better. Thus, they may try to prompt their mother, as this baby did.
The baby had been raised on AI, using chat coding interfaces for several hours per day. The baby developed a close connection to the AI technology, using it to complete arbitrary baby tasks like teeth and cry. While the baby was able to 10x its baby throughput, its learning development was stunted, and the failure to recognize its own mother as a non-AI entity demonstrates a clear understanding gap.
The mother hopes her own experience may serve a a wakeup call to monitor how much children use AI software like Claude and Codex. While it may be tempting to let Claude raise your child, she advises against it, saying the alternative is much more rewarding.
