The A.I. Parent

<p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>One fine day I was sincerely struggling to explain the term solidarity to my child and it occurred to me to ask OpenAi's newest publicly available artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT how I may explain the concept to a 3-year old boy. The results opened my eyes and I started wondering how generative AI might help me in other aspects of parenting as well.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>What followed was months of shamelessly prompting ChatGPT at their visual art AI Dall-E for questions ranging from the most basic things to building connections that I scarcely believed. So I put together some of the work I have been doing and my hope is that is raises some questions for yourself as you consider how these powerful tools might add something to your toolbelt.</span></p><p>What I hope to share with you in this book is two-fold.</p><p><br></p><ol><li><strong>Six short chapters</strong> where I will try and demonstrate some of the moments that helped me as a father and how I imagine these tools might help us even more as they develop and improve.</li><li><strong>I will share three blog posts</strong> I wrote while in the throes of early parenthood. These posts are titled <strong>Story Time</strong> for clarity and they appear every two chapters.</li></ol><p><br></p><p><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>The Contents of the Book:</span></p><p><br></p><ul><li><strong>Introduction</strong></li><li>Story Time #1: I didn't want to love anything this much</li><li><strong>Chapter 1</strong>: What in the hell does AI have to do with parenting?</li><li><strong>Chapter 2</strong>: Answering the Whys</li><li>Story Time #2: Tips for a dad wearing his baby</li><li><strong>Chapter 3</strong>: Building uniquely creative connections</li><li><strong>Chapter 4</strong>: Using AI generated art to visualize ideas and have some fun</li><li>Story Time #3: The incredibly sad moment you realize you're a nobody</li><li><strong>Chapter 5</strong>: Helping you through some of the loneliest experiences as a parent</li><li><strong>Chapter 6</strong>: A little healing</li><li>Conclusion</li></ul><p><br></p>
