As a mom, I don't just check in with my kids to learn the facts of their day, but to continue to develop our familial bond. The fact that young tech workers are pawning family time off on AI agents is heartbreaking. Optimizing productivity at the expense of real life. https://lnkd.in/eQevNjQb

Well... as the father of two boys, I'll be honest, I'm suspicious of any response to a text I receive. They're very rare. (now, a new text thread asking for something, I know that's legitimate)

AI is crazy and hurting critical thinking development.
We're learning how to delegate parts of our lives to agents and what situations demand our own personal time. I wouldn't solely talk to my family through an AI agent but it's very similar to writing a note or some other asynchronous communication. As long as you're making the effort to make time for your family and you're not only pushing them off onto some sort of automated system, it's almost like leaving a voicemail for your kid. They'll get back to you eventually but as long as you're not always talking to the voicemail then it's just a tool.
