The other day I was driving to a weekend event with one of my kids and I literally chatted with AI and asked it, give me 5 questions that I can ask my kid over the next hour drive to just like have a deeper connection with them. My prompt was simple. I'm a 45 year old dad, I've got two kids, 12 and 13, and I wanna be a better dad. The first one is: in an alternate universe where kids make the rules, what are 3 rules you'd wanna make? My kid goes, I think kids should be able to drive cars.
