My sister lets an AI app plan all her kid's activities now
I was at my sister's house last weekend and saw her using this AI app that maps out her son's whole day, from breakfast to bedtime. It picks educational videos, play times, and even suggests family chats based on his mood data. I mean, it seems efficient, but idk, it makes me uneasy. The app tracks everything he does, and who knows where that info goes. My sister barely makes choices for him anymore, just goes with what the AI says. What happens when the kid grows up thinking a machine knows best? It feels like we're trading family gut feelings for cold data. Maybe it's just me, but this stuff is creeping into homes way too fast without enough talk about the risks.

My fridge AI suggested I eat ketchup sandwiches for a week, and I actually did it like a fool. Now I get why your sister's app setup feels off, it's like we stop trusting our own brains. @bettyt40 is right about losing the human part, I mean my gut said no but the data said cheap meal plan. Kids learning from machines instead of family vibe just seems like a fast track to weird future problems.

I mean, this is creeping into everything now, not just how we raise kids. We're already used to apps choosing what we watch or buy, and it quietly shapes our days. It feels like we're swapping out our own common sense for convenience, bit by bit. And all that data stuff, idk where it ends up, but it makes me nervous how much we just give away. Maybe it's just me, but I worry we're losing the human part of making choices, like your family's gut feelings. Your sister's situation just shows how normal it's becoming to let a machine call the shots at home.
