If you "cannot imagine how to figure out how to raise a newborn without ChatGPT" maybe you shouldn't be the caretaker of one TBH.

There is a special place in hell for AI boosters who claimed stochastic parrots to be the best thing ever and who now pivot to talking (usually in the form of criti-hype) about the societal dangers of Sora2.
