Looks like some parents find it easy to offload some of their parental responsibility to ChatGPT.
A dad admitted that he got tired of listening to his little boy talk about trains, so he gave the 4-year-old his phone so he could talk to ChatGPT. The child talked with it for two hours, unsupervised.
It seems that some parents do the same at bedtime because the voice is soothing.
In effect, these parents invite and enable people whom they don't know to speak into their child's life. Would they ever bring in a complete stranger off the street to care for the child for a few hours? They have no idea what that voice on the phone is going to say to her or him.
Caution is warranted. It's no secret that touchscreen devices can have various bad effects.
Ultimately, your instinct that your child needs you, not just entertainment, is correct.
