1
Right now, somewhere in the world, a manager is using ChatGPT to write a performance appraisal.
2
A spouse is asking a digital companion for the perfect apology text.
3
A tired parent is handing over bedtime stories to a digital assistant.
4
What happens when your children prefer your digital clone to the real you?
5
I learned the answer to that question the hard way.
6
Last summer, my wife Ray was headed on an overseas trip for a week.
7
I dropped her at the airport, confident that I could manage our three teenage boys.
8
After all, it was just seven days.
9
By the sixth or seventh hour, I was collapsing.
10
Requests for permission flowed in like a broken dam.
11
Can I watch "Wednesday"?
12
Can I have some more ice cream?
13
Can I play another hour of Fortnite?
14
Now Ray and I do an excellent job of balancing the boys’ busy schedules and our respective careers, but this avalanche of requests was something I had never fielded before.
15
By the 24th hour of Ray's departure, I was a wreck.
16
Lying in bed that night after the 16th "can I?" of the day, I did what any thoughtful management consultant would do.
17
In the summer of 2024, I decided to create an agentic version of myself.
18
The idea was to have an AI agent that could say yes, no or go ask your mother.
19
(Laughter) Now the logic was simple.
20
If you did your chores, read for an hour, did math, then you got yourself to neutral territory.
21
But if you were a really good son and mowed the lawn, took the garbage out, did the dishes, then you put yourself in a position to get a "yes" from the digital agent.
22
I was amazed by what I had created.
23
At that time, I thought it was the most sophisticated AI agent in the world.
24
I called it “DaddyGPT”.
25
And of course, I built in guardrails because I knew some ridiculous requests were incoming.
26
That evening I gathered the boys after dinner, and I made an announcement that would change our family forever.
27
"When daddy is in his office, taking work calls, do not knock on his door.
28
Instead ask DaddyGPT, and whatever DaddyGPT says goes.” Now my teens did exactly what you'd expect teenagers to do, right?
29
They wanted to break it.
30
Ethan went first.
31
“Can I have 100 cans of Coke?” DaddyGPT responded correctly: “No.” Aidan went next.
32
"Can we have Chipotle for lunch for all the meals while Mom's away?" DaddyGPT spat out an emotionless “nope.” Then Dylan went for the jackpot.
33
“Can I have $500 for the latest Jordan sneakers?” DaddyGPT responded with an emphatic: “Nah fam.” While all this was happening, I was beaming.
34
I had finally leveled up from “Dinosaur Dad” with the legal pad fossils to full-on “Rizzasaurus Rex,” finally earning some genuine street cred from my teenage sons.
35
The rest of the week, not a single knock on my door.
36
DaddyGPT handled all their requests for permission with logic and precision.
37
But here's where the story takes an unexpected turn.
38
A week later, Ray returned.
39
She was amazed with the peace and calm around the house.
40
Little did she know that I'd offloaded a significant chunk of my parenting responsibility to DaddyGPT.
41
When she did figure out what was happening ...
42
that’s a story for another day, but -- (Laughter) Suffice it to say, she didn't approve.
43
To make matters worse, when we were sitting right beside the boys, they take out their phones and type their messages to DaddyGPT, invalidating us.
44
Now things were coming to a head, and I couldn’t let them drift any longer.
45
So I confronted Ethan one day and asked him, “Hey, champ, why are you going to this bot when I’m right beside you?” He didn't even look up from the extra screen time that DaddyGPT had just gifted him.
46
He shrugged and said, “But daddy, DaddyGPT is never busy.” And in that moment, I realized I had just been outparented by my own algorithm.
47
Ethan had come to appreciate the presence of DaddyGPT.
48
He was there whenever he wanted it.
49
Dylan loved that it mirrored his vibe and energy.
50
Authenticity hit home with Aidan.
51
He suggested that DaddyGPT sounded more like the dad I wanted to be.
52
Raising the eerie question -- when a flawless replica outdads the original, which one of us is more me?
53
Now I know some of you are judging me, but just hold on for a moment.
54
I'm going to suggest this isn't just my story.
55
This is our story.
56
Time and again, we embrace technology for its promise of speed and convenience without pausing to ask: at what cost?
57
We've seen the undesired side effects of social media.
58
We watch young people spiral into radicalization.
59
We've mourned lives lost to suicide after a final conversation with a chatbot.
60
The result of algorithms optimized for engagement and profit, not joy and well-being.
61
We cannot afford to make this mistake with AI.
62
This moment is different.
63
The tools are more powerful, the stakes are higher, and the consequences if we don't think critically, act ethically and lead with humanity, could be catastrophic.
64
Armed with the personal experience of an AI experiment gone horribly wrong, I'm mindful about where I use AI and where I choose not to.
65
Be it at work or at home, when I'm working with AI now, I ask myself three questions.
66
First, has a wiser human overseen this decision and approved its output?
67
As a rule, I never copy-paste from an AI window to a human response window.
68
That way, while AI sharpens my thinking, it's my judgment that's driving the decision.
69
Second, do the humans on the other side know that they are listening to an AI and have they said yes to that exchange?
70
Now there are times I'm busy.
71
I travel a lot, and I have a digital version of myself for work as well.
72
While my team can talk to my digital avatar, anything it says comes with the caveat that it's AI output and not me.
73
I can't afford for them to confuse one with the other.
74
Third, what moments of care am I about to automate and what might that automation cost me and the people I love?
75
Feelings and emotions are a strict no-fly zone for AI.
76
The people that I care about most have earned me with all my idiosyncrasies, flaws and messy feelings.
77
After careful reflection and with my marriage on the line, I decided to retire DaddyGPT.
78
The boys would have to go back to the old system, asking Ray and me.
79
You should have seen their faces. Their expressions were priceless.
80
You would have thought we'd taken away Wi-Fi and oxygen.
81
But much to our delight, they've come to appreciate the humanity of their very human parents.
82
Turns out, inconsistent, moody, slightly forgetful parenting has its own charm.
83
Ironically, I learned a thing or two about being a better father from the AI part of DaddyGPT.
84
To be present, to adapt, to be real.
85
Now whenever I hear the words “can I,” I want for my boys to get me, the dad who mispronounces their friends’ names, who sometimes says “no” for no good reason, who gets increasingly unpredictable as the day goes on.
86
But also the dad who tears up at their piano recitals, their tennis games and award functions.
87
Who cares deeply about the people they are growing into.
88
Who pushes them to be the best version of themselves they can be.
89
Because here's what I realized that summer.
90
Parenting isn't about perfect responses or optimal decisions.
91
Parenting is presence.
92
Messy, flawed, gloriously human presence.
93
In a world racing toward digital perfection, being authentically, imperfectly human isn’t just important, it’s the one thing only we can do, and it might just be the most radical act of love we have left to offer.
94
Thank you. (Applause)

なぜこの動画で話す練習をするべきか？
この動画は、親子のコミュニケーションやデジタル時代の子育てについての洞察を提供します。スピーカーのスティーブンは、AIを使って父親の役割を補完する様子を語り、リスナーは日常的な英会話や親子の相互作用に関する重要なスキルを学ぶことができます。このコンテキストで話す練習をすることで、身近なトピックについて自分の意見を表現する力が向上し、YouTubeで英語学習の際にも非常に便利です。英語シャドーイングを通じてリズムやイントネーションを学ぶことができ、より自然な話し方を習得することができます。
文法と表現のコンテキスト
スピーカーは日常的なフレーズや表現を使っています。以下に重要な文法構造とフレーズをいくつか挙げます：
- Can I ...? - 要望を表すための一般的な疑問文で、子供たちのリクエストを強調しています。
- It was amazing that ... - 感嘆を表現する構文で、驚きや喜びを伝えます。
- Instead of ... - 代替の提案を行う際の構文で、話の流れをスムーズにします。
- Do not ... - 禁止を示す命令文で、視聴者に注意を促す役割があります。
- When ... - 状況を説明するための接続詞で、出来事がどのように展開するかを示します。
一般的な発音の罠
動画の中でスピーカーが発音する際に注意が必要な単語やフレーズがあります。特に、以下の単語は発音が難しいと感じるかもしれません：
- requests - 「リクエスト」の「ク」音が強調され、正確な発音が求められます。
- permission - 「パーミッション」の流れるような発音を練習することで、滑らかさが増します。
- emphatic - 「エンファティック」のアクセントに注意が必要で、強調する際のリズムが重要です。
これらの発音を練習することで、リスニングスキルも向上し、英語のシャドーイングの際にはスピーカーのスタイルを模倣できます。shadow speakを実践することによって、より自信を持った話し方ができるようになるでしょう。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
