yeah this is child abuse sorry
Some parents are letting their kids talk to ChatGPT in the guise of characters. Some are using it to tell bedtime stories or create coloring books.
"My son thinks ChatGPT is the coolest train loving person in the world. The bar is set so high now I am never going to be able to compete with that.”

‘My son genuinely believed it was real’: Parents are letting little kids play with AI. Are they wrong?

The reality is that Xbox Game Pass doesn't have enough subscribers and isn't making money the same way Netflix is. Game Pass needs 100 million-plus subs. It might reach 50 million this year.
