The goddamn meta commercial where the dad is asking, "meta, how do I get my toddler to eat breakfast" makes me wants to implode every fucking time. Like you can't feed your kid?
My son was born with a heart defect. VSD if you're curious. Basically, the most important thing is to eat, gain weight, and outgrow it. What do you think is the one thing we can't get him to do? He's now 8 years old and just a hair over 50 pounds. He's normal height for his age, but skinny as a rail. He refuses to eat anything but chicken nuggets and french fries, and a handful of other things, the only vegetable we can get him to eat is carrots. Yes, I've googled how to feed him a few times, but without much success.
The response from the ai in the advertisement is "he likes it when you make funny faces".
It has nothing to do with researching conditions, or other parental resources one may need.
"Googling" (may I suggest folks change this language, I like ecosia.org for my searches) things you may want to know more about, and being able to verify where the information came from, is a lot different than asking a glorified alexa for advice on basic human tasks.
