OpenAI CEO Sam Altman faced backlash after suggesting on X that parents use ChatGPT to create a daily podcast for their children during the drive to school, based on connected family calendars and kids' interests. Altman described the idea as a "cool use case" he heard the previous night, mentioning it could cover topics like a child's soccer game or upcoming birthday. Parents in the replies criticized the suggestion as "evil" and "deeply sociopathic," raising privacy concerns and questioning what an LLM-generated podcast could say about a child's soccer game. One commenter called it "the worst use case for AI in the history of the world." The top reply, with over 200K likes, came from Alex Hirsch, creator of Disney's animated series Gravity Falls, who wrote in 8 words: "What if you just talked to your children." Altman had previously admitted on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that he "cannot imagine" raising a child without ChatGPT.
