How parents can use ChatGPT to raise better kids: AI expert


What, were you raised by robots?

A tech worker urges moms and dads to choose the “easier” alternative of getting ChatGPT to get kids to sleep, plan their birthday parties and even help with homework.

Celia Quillain, 31, of Atlanta, is coaching parent-of-the-year candidates on using the language model to make their lives easier through its “ability to ideate and just be creative.”

“There are a variety of things that if you look through a parenting lens you can do with AI which are incredibly helpful,” Quillain — who does not have kids — told South West News Service.

In particular, she emphasized that it can ease “the pain of getting children to bed” by drafting a customizable bedtime story.

“You can include your child’s name to the story and use the AI to create a life lesson that they need to learn, about sharing for instance, but [the program] makes it engaging and fun because your kid can contribute to storytime as well.”

“You can ask the child: Who do you want to be in this story and who are the characters?”

Additionally, Quillain observes, ChatGPT can make for a great personal assistant — particularly when planning tasks like travel and birthday parties.

For the latter, a parent can bounce ideas off the program for items such as themed invitations, decorations, color schemes, activities, party favors and even snacks — including dietary needs.

“There are a variety of things that if you look through a parenting lens you can do with AI which are incredibly helpful.”

The coup de grâce that makes AI a parenting asset is that it can help young students with their homework when prompted to “explain simply” a bevy of academic subjects.

Still, it’s important to fact-check answers, as programs like ChatGPT often create false information or citations, a kink of the tech that designers have yet to work out.

Quillain “would absolutely recommend that parents get involved with AI.” She urged, “Give it a try. Experiment with it and learn how it can help you and them.”
