Billionaire Marc Andreessen says he's teaching his 8-year-old son ChatGPT: 'This is like the most important thing I've done as a father'
that while he limits his son's screen time, he also wants him to know how to use technology and stay up to date with it
"I set a time aside and I sit him down on the couch and I was like, 'Okay, there's this amazing thing that I'm going to give you.'" the Andreessen Horowitz cofounder told Joe Rogan of the first time he introduced his son to ChatGPT."This is like the most important thing I've done as a father that I've like brought fire down from the mountains and I'm gonna give you AI and you're gonna have AI your whole life to be with you and teach you things.
The VC founder said that he believes younger generations will have a completely different view on AI and it will be"completely normal" for them. Andreessen described AI as an"ally" or"basically a partner whose goal in life will be to make them as happy and satisfied and successful as possible." "The A.I. that my 8-year-old is gonna have by the time he's 20, it's gonna have had 12 years of experience with him," he told Rogan."And so it will have grown up with him. It will know everything he's ever done. It will know everything he ever did well. It will know everything he did that took real effort. It will know what he's good at. It will know what he's not good at. It'll know how to teach him.
During the podcast, the billionaire showed Rogan how ChatGPT can cater its responses to different age groups and even attempt to explain quantum mechanics to a 3-year-old., Andreessen doesn't view artificial intelligence as a threat to humanity. He told Rogan he believes people typically frame new technology around the potential dangers it presents instead of its advantages. And he's expressed a similar sentiment in the past.
