"It was a distinctly clever, if somewhat surprising, choice from Altman who has mostly kept his personal life out of the media spotlight. But Altman is a salesman, and a good salesman understands the optics of good television. So he talked about being a dad and being worried that his son-who wasn't crawling at six months-was developing slower than other children (spoiler: he's not). "I cannot imagine having gone through, figuring out how to raise a newborn without ChatGPT," Altman told Fallon. "People did it for a long time, no problem. So clearly it was possible, but I have relied on it so much.""
""One of the things that I'm worried about is just the rate of change that's happening in the world right now. This is a three-year-old technology. No other technology has ever been adopted by the world this fast," Altman said. "Making sure that we introduce this to the world in a responsible way, where people have time to adapt, to give input, to figure out how to do this-you could imagine us getting that wrong.""
"As the fears around the future of AI continue to mount, the subtext was almost too obvious: Technology can help people understand their kids better. We should welcome it. The timing of that particular message was not by mistake."
Sam Altman appeared on The Tonight Show and described using ChatGPT to ease anxiety about parenting a newborn. He said ChatGPT helped him assess his son's development and that he relied on it heavily. Altman expressed concern about the rapid pace of AI adoption and emphasized the need to introduce AI responsibly to allow time for adaptation and public input. The tech industry has mounted a charm offensive as age-verification laws spread and public backlash to AI grows. The campaign seeks to shape public perception by highlighting benefits while acknowledging risks and potential missteps.
