I've spent the past weeks asking scientific stuff, enjoyed the conversation and saw its shortcomings.<p>Today, while cooking some rice, I started to chat with it about what my options are, with what I have in the kitchen, and it was a really great interaction. I ended up eating something valuable, and I have a new recipe for what I'm going to cook next. I don't cook. I mostly buy frozen vegetable mixtures or frozen meat and see myself rarely cutting some fresh vegetables.<p>For a moment the thought came to my mind about the possibility to use it to "entertain" kids, like have them ask questions and get answers, interact with those answers and just let their curiosity decide the path. At the end you could get a summary and the complete transcript, to see what your kid was asking about and which responses it got, so that you know what interests your kid and if it has possibly been taught something erroneous by the AI. You could even use it to prepare yourself for a conversation with your kid, similar to "how was school today, did you learn something interesting today?".<p>If this type of AI can ensure that the content is correct and the discussion is healthy, then this will have a huge market opportunity, where parents can hand off the mind of the kid to the AI to get answers to its questions while the parents do the chores. Magnitudes of orders better than giving them a tablet so that they play candy crush just to keep silent.<p>Let's assume that this would become a reality, maybe in 10 years, then in 20 years we would have the first 10 year old kids which have been partially raised or educated by an AI. I see a lot of possibilities for this to have a good effect on kids. Also assume that kids of interaction-poor families, possibly parents without a job, also get the possibility to interact with these knowledge machines, the positive effect on them could be even greater.
