The OpenAI CEO gushed about the bot’s parental-assistance abilities. Is it really his best child-rearing hack?
Just how does he do it all? Every time I look at the news, Sam Altman’s face seems to be staring back at me. The CEO of OpenAI, a well-known workaholic, is constantly in the public eye explaining how AI will probably cure cancer and transform the social contract and generally change the world. While doing all that he’s reportedly gearing up for OpenAI to file for a stock market listing valuing the company at $1tn, as soon as next year. And he’s also a new dad: Altman and his husband, Oliver Mulherin, welcomed their first child into the world in February. So he’s got a lot on his plate.
The billionaire does have a little bit of help though, and he’s not afraid to admit it. On Monday Altman made his late-night debut on Jimmy Fallon’s The Tonight Show, where he waxed lyrical about how helpful ChatGPT has been in helping him raise his son.
“I cannot imagine having gone through figuring out how to raise a newborn without ChatGPT,” Altman gushed to Fallon. Perhaps a little self-awareness crept in at that moment because he added: “Clearly, people did it for a long time – no problem ... but I have relied on it so much.”
