And even when data centers weren’t on the ballot directly, they were a…

There’s a version of this story playing out in engineering teams too. AI handles the predictable load; the judgment calls still need a human in the room.

TV’s; Computers; video games have been used for generations. “Where’s Johnny?” “Oh, I know right where Johnny is, he is in his room playing video games. He is such a good boy, I always know where he is and he never gets into trouble.” Johnny is 30 pounds overweight, prediabetic and seems to only have online “friends”, but SOOO easy to raise. I agree AI is NOT the tool that should be used, same as the others listed. There is no replacement for being present as a parent. Parental Abdication Syndrome is rampant, and we will/are all feel the negative effect.

@rnedlo9909A game or a movie is a thing that you, as a parent, can review and approve.
You can not “review and approve” AI.

As a great grandfather I am watching Parental Abdication Syndrome take over society. There has been/is NO replacement for hands on involvement by both parents. PAS is a pandemic. Shut off electronics; spend QUALITY time with each child every day; eat at least one meal together every day; READ together; involve your children in your house/yard/community projects you are doing; give your child ten minutes of one-on-one time and ask them how they are doing personally. It is hard to do, but I promise you, when they are grown and leave you, as they should, you will not think, “Boy, I wish I had more work/TV/screen/to myself time when they were here. Your child does not NEED a smart phone; you child does need a SMART parent!
