    If you want to optimize a parent-child time with AI, maybe optimize it with not having children instead.

      Exactly what I was thinking. It makes me think of the book Four Thousand Weeks, and Chasing Daylight.

      The former is about the trap of productivity and thinking you can fit more into your day than you can. Hint: no matter how much you get done in your day, you will want to try to fit in more

      And the latter I don’t want to spoil but there was a quote along the lines of “Gene looked at all his colleagues who wanted more and thought, do they know when they will have enough?”, again the idea that we will always want more.

      Reading to your child and spending time with them is enough. Forget all the other distractions the world offers you.

      Now this is the correct answer.

      Not sure what to tell those who thought they’d give it a whirl and found out it wasn’t for them, however 😅.

      Politicians and governments around the world are already thinking we don’t have enough babies being born. Soon they will want to incentivize people to have children because of AI too. Just more “reasons” to justify it with the thought up ones already.
