Altman says AI should parent your kids. The internet asks: why

sam altman pitched a specific use case for openai's new 'chatgpt work' product: syncing family calendars to generate ai-hosted podcasts for children on school mornings. the proposal backfired, drawing 122,000 likes for a critic asking 'what if you just talked to your children' compared to altman's 9,600 likes. this friction reflects openai's aggressive push into family markets despite ongoing lawsuits alleging chatgpt harms minors. the company is currently hiring product managers to build trust for parents, even as it faces legal battles over safety.
