"Like a lot of fathers, I see myself as a kind of large language model made of flesh - I've read a book or two, have a very loose grasp on the concept of copyright, and do a lot of basic admin. Like a kind of DadGPT, I can craft a convincing sounding response to most questions the kids put to me: "Why do we have to wash our teeth?; where does rain come from?; why did Roy Keane leave Saipan?""
"My family are big fans of the AI app, but my 12-year-old discovered DadGPT can actually be more efficient But much like ChatGPT, I tend to experience a mild short circuiting when asked actually hard questions like, "why can we only afford the cheap toilet paper?" and "where do babies come from?", and mumble, "I am unable to produce a response" or "go ask your mother"."
Family members favor an AI app, but a 12-year-old found DadGPT can be more efficient. A father likens himself to a large language model made of flesh, with some reading, a loose grasp of copyright, and basic administrative habits. The father produces convincing answers to routine child queries about teeth, rain, and Roy Keane leaving Saipan. The father encounters difficulty with harder or sensitive questions about household finances and where babies come from. The father often responds with deflection, claiming inability to answer or directing the children to ask their mother. The tone mixes humour with candid acknowledgement of human limits.
