“Is my child hitting their developmental milestones?” “What should I do if my child has a fever?” “How do I handle toddler tantrums?”
“Am I good parent?”
These are some of the top questions parents ask ChatGPT, according to the artificial intelligence tool by OpenAI.
Research suggests more parents are increasingly relying on artificial intelligence, or AI, for a wide range of parenting queries, regarding health, education and behavior, among other topics.
A Sept. 2024 study showed parents can’t distinguish the difference between answers written by a medical expert or ChatGPT when asking health care questions, according to the report published in the Journal of Pediatric Psychology. Researchers found parents tended to believe ChatGPT was more trustworthy, accurate and reliable when its answers differed from what was written by the experts.
