## Summary

Former Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer drew backlash after saying her Dazzle AI assistant helped write three bullet points about her ten-year-old daughter for a school birthday presentation. The article argues that Silicon Valley leaders, including OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, promote outsourcing parenting and relationships to AI.
