This sounds entirely terrible. I use AI a lot to figure out small challenges in a coding project but it's all just pieces. I would never rely only on AI in its current state. AI is my assistant.

I looked into options for paternity leave under this and I could not afford to have multiple weeks unpaid. We are a single income family.

With him being 4 he is just trying to push his boundaries and test us as his parents. Also we both wash our hands way too much as it is, especially after using the restroom. I also believe he doesn't like washing his hands because he has mild eczema on his hands.

Markpelly LinkMy 4 year old says he wants to be a big boy and grow up strong. So he would like to stop washing his hands after going potty because it's what grown ups do. I mean he's not wrong.My 4 year old says he wants to be a big boy and grow up strong. So he would like to stop washing his hands after going potty because it's what grown ups do.

Markpelly Link ParentThe reason I was asking was because I wasn't sure what made it exciting. I figured this was a given for all modern phones. But it appears to be interesting because Apple made the parts.The reason I was asking was because I wasn't sure what made it exciting. I figured this was a given for all modern phones.

Markpelly Link ParentOh okay so a pretty big jump in price. InterestingOh okay so a pretty big jump in price. Interesting
I am leading an AI learning program at our small company, lots of non-technical people, and I hear a lot of negatives about it. Probably about 30% of the people I interact with have a pretty hard "this thing is useless" stance. The rest are either really excited or aren't quite sure what's going on and have minimal complaints. I don't try to overhype it, I am very realistic about what it's good and bad at.
