Sam Altman has been slammed after he revealed how he uses ChatGPT to raise his baby.
The CEO of OpenAI appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon where he talked about how the AI bot is helping him with his new family.
Altman welcomed his first baby via surrogate back in February after tying the knot with his husband Oliver Mulherin back in 2024.
When asked if he uses ChatGPT to raise the baby, Altman said: “I do. I mean, I feel kind of bad about it because we have this, like, genius level at everything, intelligence, sitting there, waiting

to unravel the mysteries of humanity. And I'm like, ‘why does my kid stop dropping his pizza
on the floor and laughing?’”
The tech mogul went on to admit: “I cannot imagine having gone through, like, figuring out how to raise a newborn without ChatGPT.
“Clearly, people did it for a long time no problem. So I know, like,clearly, it was possible. But I have relied on it so much.
“I mean, it's obviously, like, the most important thing to happen in my life, so it's top of mind and I use it all the time.”
Many people have taken to social media to share their own reactions to the video, with one user taking to X, formerly Twitter, to write: “Have things ever been worse.”
Another said: “Amusing that the main pitch for ChatGPT is telling everyone they are dumb idiots who can't possibly handle tasks on their own that humans have accomplished on their own since the dawn of time.”
A third person commented: “I don’t think I’ve ever used ChatGPT, not even once. And there’s people who can’t live without it wtf.”
And a fourth added: “Imagine having babies and learning things from Ai of how to do things for baby instead of asking your own parents or learning all the way. Bruh this types of peeps are so cooked.”
This comes after ChatGPT users were left divided as a brand-new ‘group chat’ feature was launched on the platform.
The AI bot has some new features brought by OpenAI which will now enable people to start group chats with the AI.
On the firm’s website, it explained: “Today, we’re beginning to pilot a new experience in a few regions that makes it easy for people to collaborate with each other - and with ChatGPT - in the same conversation. With group chats, you can bring friends, family, or coworkers into a shared space to plan, make decisions, or work through ideas together.”
