Microblog post

From @made_in_cosmos on Twitter:

recently I asked my husband some random dumb question and he was like “why don’t you ask chatgpt?” and I told him, is this really what you want to do, outsourcing our random silly chitchat to machines, and he agreed I should keep asking him

this is how we stay human

One of my favorite things about Charlie is his wonder and all the questions he asks that make me stop and think. I try my best to puzzle through things systematically and out loud so he learns how to evaluate and speculate based on observation and evidence rather than defaulting to asking AI.

Don’t get me wrong, sometimes we still ask AI or do regular searches when we are stuck, but I’m trying to not make that our default. I also like consulting books first when possible, and we are building up our house library accordingly.
