      what part is unrealistic? a parent being so incompetent that they let a chat bot parent their child, or a child (that’s probably autistic) talking to a chat bot for that long?

        Specifically a four year old typing to a chatbot for several hours. Sure, there are kids that age that read, but to write? and for that long? Seems off. That it’s supposedly about Thomas is just the too-on-the-nose cherry on the cake.

      Yes! This!

      How did this person find it easier to set up speech to text for his son and text to speech for the AI (that part I assume might come standard) instead of just talking to his dang son some more?! And then after that, how did the AI understand the 4 year old (an age at which kids are known for perfect pronounciation etc.) perfecty enough to stay on one topic for hours? Or did the 4 year old know how to type well enough for the same thing to occur?

      Does not pass the smell test. Smells instead of an ad trying to make AI seem competent.
