Just as many kids are using AI for emotional support as they are as a homework tool, and the toll this has on their mental health seems grim.

      The same parents that let TV raise their kids. Either due to lack of ability, lack of care, or lack of time.

        This is quite a bit different than TV, but I get your point.

        Apparently they have given up that role.

      Nearly half the parents at my kids school. Everyone seems so disinterested in the kind of adult thier kid will grow up to be, especially when it inconviences them now.

        It’s not like the parents aren’t suffering from the same disease as the kids. They are just supposed to be able to magically shake it off without help because at some point they got old? Age and experience help, but it is clearly not enough. I don’t even know what real help looks like… So many people offering a helping hand are trying to put their other hand in your wallet or flood your mind with garbage.
