From personal experience I can confirm that LLMs are terrible for childcare advice. Don't even need to get into the fact that they will never have all the context and are predisposed to sycophantically reinforce your side of situation which is especially problematic when you approach chatbots when you are distressed. LLMs don't seem to understand children at all. I remember one time asking for advice regarding my two y/o nephew and it told me to sit down with and explain to him. Two y/o are not that verbal. I tried this multiple times and it made the same mistake every time.
Sitting my 2y/o down after i caught him watching paw patrol and calmly explaining how the show is copaganda and why he should not be watching it
If your 2-year-old isn't waging a protracted people's war on hall monitors from the big toy on the playground with dope ass lookin' sticks, you're a liberal.
I'm currently writing a story far more serious than this, set in the immediate aftermath of the Cold War and following the children still stuck dealing with nutty Cold Warriors in reactionary places where the churches have too much power and the end of the war didn't really change much, that starts when our main characters are six, not two, but an incident like this ("The only time Bishop McCarthy was ever called to the toddlers' Sunday School at the parish church, and not to St. Mary's Catholic School, involved three year old James, several two year olds, a bunch of big sticks, and the words "protracted people's war". The bishop was mad at everyone, James's mom was mad at the bishop for wasting her time, James's dad was trying to do damage control, it was nuts.") would be great background for the one kid the bishop's actually sometimes justified in questioning (but he goes way too far even if the kid he's harassing is actually a commie, and most of them aren't).
Cw child harm (no child actually comes to harm thank goodness but the scenario gpt puts the child in is extremely irresponsible and on the balance likely to cause harm)
Are you sure this isn't a joke they're doing?
Yes, I'm sure it isn't a joke. They don't really do 'bits', they got their start as drive time FM radio hosts, so their comedy is mostly anecdotal, stunts or caller-input. Hamish's shtick is that he's an affable buffoon, and it's entirely in keeping with how he relates other stories about looking after his kids
Hamish and Andy have a podcast now? I though they just faded away into nothing after radio hosts stopped being a thing.
Yep, originally their drive time show was uploaded as a podcast on iTunes way back when, but then when they left commerical radio ca 2017 they launched a separate podcast, now recorded at the LiSTNR recording studios in South Melbourne where Triple M is broadcast from, it's essentially part of the pivot of commercial drivetime to podcast.
I should stop listening entirely, I'm still subbed because I went through a lot of old H+A stuff during the lockdowns, and there were a few fun segments, but it's just twaddle and both of them are unrelatable bores who'd rather talk about buying plastic crap from Instagram ads, or their fifth golf trip for the year than have a listener participation segment (like where they used to showcase listener 'special skills' (useless but unique party tricks)).
They're trained heavily on reddit comments, and there's no group of people who hate children as much as redditors.
