In one an elderly woman is alone knitting, talking to an AI voice, hoping that her grandson will like the sweater she is making him. She repeatedly forgets the name of the "sweetie" she is talking to, and is told "My name is Chat GPT"
In another, a different elderly woman is talking to Chat, interrupting it to ask about weather and traffic. The AI, with infinite patience, permits itself to be interrupted and spoken-over, and calms her that the weather is sunny.

its more disturbing to think of what precise goyshit the adult children are doing in the moments that their parents are chatting mindlessly with Chat. Using their own AI to fix a spreadsheet? |
