      “Go play outside”

      “Play with your toys”

      “Do some arts and crafts”

      “Listen to an audio book”

      “Go read”

      … So many ways parents can get a break, this is just the same but different in a more creepy way and using something that sucks up all our resources and takes our jobs.

          If we’re just talking about that specifically then actually it might be quite good to have an audio book that uses the parents’ voice, if we ignore privacy concerns about cloning your voice.

          But the context of the post is saying more than that. They’re talking about not spending time with the child and reading to them, which I think most people disagree with. Just as I think most people would disagree with just giving a child an audiobook instead of reading to/with them, irrespective of whose voice is being used

            Oh nooooooo a parent took a break and a shortcut? Let’s make 800 assumptions and make up an entire MCU for this man to live in where we can make a million more assumptions that this guy is just abusing this kid.

            Y’all have widely taken a tweet out of context and misrepresented …… because AI.

              An audio book does not provide parental bonding time.
              An audio book doesn’t have words that can be pointed to by a parent.

              Clearer?

                Not what I asked. But it’s okay, I’m SURE you’ve been screeching over the dangers of audio books for years 🤣👍

                  How is listening to an audio book different than a book in parents voice?

                  Two differences given, don’t know what else you expected.

                    No, you are trying to move goal posts and put your own additional fanfic where this guy said he’s offloaded total responsibility and never reads to his kids because he has a decent idea to personalize an audio book.
