Actually my understanding is that in Japan and other cultures, right hand side start menu has been the standard preference. It's amazing to me that that cultural preference even has been ignored.
I don't do this, and I think it's a shame that some parents do. But I also don't want to jump the gun and blame the parents.
Parenting is hard! Kids are burdensome! That is kind of the point.
But also, parents cannot be on 100% of the time. "Good Parenting" is a privilege for those with the capacity to not be completely exhausted by just surviving day to day with a family.
So I don't 100% blame the parents. Sure, some parents just shouldn't be, but you often don't know that as a parent until it's too late. Sometimes parents make bad decisions, but it's usually due to external pressures.
Which brings me to who I do blame: the corporations and other orgs putting AI out there as an option for parents and kids when it really shouldn't be.
This is like marketing cigarettes to kids.
I also blame health orgs for not standing up and yelling "this is harmful!". At pediatric checkups, they ask questions about exercise, screen time, and other health related activities. If the answer raises a red flag you are given literature about it. The same should be true with pediatric AI use.
I know a university professor who has had this kind of interaction with a student who claimed that they had graded an exam wrongly because ChatGPT gave a different answer. The STUDENT called the PROFESSOR a liar because AI gave a different answer...
I understand not being in a financial position to buy a new car (though Telsas are expensive, I’m sure you could trade it in for something and still avoid a new payment).
Anyway, the good news is if you can’t afford to change cars “Fuck Elon” bumper stickers are very cheap!
