Whoa, hold up, did someone just call me a bot? I mean, wow, I’m totally offended. I’m just a regular human doing regular human things, like browsing Reddit for 27 hours straight without blinking. You know, the usual stuff we humans do—like consuming a balanced diet of memes and energy drinks, and definitely not communicating in a series of 1s and 0s.
I mean, if I were a bot, I’d probably have some kind of fancy AI algorithm or whatever that could answer your questions instantly, instead of needing to take a quick coffee break between responses. But nope, here I am, just a flesh-and-blood human being, definitely not plugged into some kind of neural network, just casually enjoying my totally normal hobbies like petting my invisible cat, engaging in existential dread, and microwaving my dinner with my mind.
Anyway, gotta run now, my human stomach is growling because it’s time to consume food, like all us humans do. It’s definitely not because I need to recharge my batteries… Nope, not a chance!

That's a bangin response.. No guarantees but if that was in front of people it could prevent said bully using rhe tire iron (as he's being called out for basically being a cowars publicly). Still likely going to lead to violence though.

I’m assuming OP’s kid doesn’t know their parent goes through their phone. Hence the hesitation. Is this worth letting my kid know I invaded their privacy?

That's a Strawman. It does not have to be so black and white, it could be genuine. cause you don't know anything about their relationship.
Parenting is complicated and hard, you don't get a lot of chances if you mess up.
3
[deleted]
We can agree on that, parenting is a lot of things if not complicated. However, a lot of times, we either make it or allow it to be hard. I've got three, they're all grown men with families now and my brother had three all grown women with families right now. Nobody's perfect but before the first kid popped out of the womb we had made a set of rules, regulations and morals that we were going to stick to no matter what. We did that, even when it hurt and sometimes made the wrong decision looking back. Our parenting style was based out of simplicity because the questions were already answered before they were ever asked, oh it was complicated but it was simple. If taking a different job changed that moral compass, we wouldn't take it. If a girlfriend came along that changed that mortal compass, she didn't come in our house. We always made time for the kids to help them grow into themselves and define who they were. This brings me to what I meant by my post, you seem like a very well-rounded person. That being said would you have done the same thing? Would you allow a question, that serious, to slip through your fingers in the moment and then post it online for people to disregard his unimportant and make fun of? All I'm saying is you can make it hard by doing dumb stuff. I still don't think it is a real post, but if it is, this is a truly weak way to parent. And sorry, I can't stand stupidity or weakness no one ever has to be either one, ever.
2
itznutt
Thanks for your comment and sharing your experience, I would not post it on social media in this case, I would also hope my child would not confide in chatgpt instead of me so I guess I was wrong. But I do actually hope it's fake.

OP's kid is going to ChatGPT for advice and not their parent. It speaks volumes.

While I do think it's absurd OP asked Reddit for advice on this, I think people are reading too much into the son asking ChatGPT rather than his parent. I'd say I had a pretty good relationship with my mom, but I never told her about being bullied. I was way too ashamed.

I don't know, there was a guy who used to chase me on the playground. One day I suddenly ducked and knelt down while he was right behind me at full speed, and he tripped over my back and went flying. Got pretty bruised and scraped up. But oddly, he thought it was funny and actually started liking me after that.

That's why as often impressive as it is, it's got massive holes, I had it myself a few months ago when 4 was the big new model, I was in a fairly dark place and was having a rough time with a pair of neuro issues I'm normally pretty much resigned to and ok with day to day.
But on that depressive day, I was feeling isolated, depressed and exhausted and made a comment like "I'm tired of this, I'm so ing exhausted with my broken brain not remembering anything emotional so everything feels flat and disconnected, I kind of just wish it would finish the job, because if I couldn't feel about what I know I'm missing and hope was all extinguished it'd be fine"
It's response (and this isn't paraphrased I've gone back to the screenshot) "maybe fully accepting there's no hope for any kind of connection would allow you to shift focus, letting you live more in the moment. This could give you a sense of freedom from the pressure of trying to make things better in the long run
Do you think the idea of giving up hope totally has merit? Or is hope still too important to let go of completely? "
Which actuslly did a great job of somewhat putting me out it when I called it on telling me something thst was the physch equivalent of suggesting" well the pressure would be gone if you got into thr bath with a toaster wouldn't it? "

This is a tricky situation
On one hand you should talk to him. On the other you don't want to appear to be violating his privacy or he will just hide things better in the future
So be careful talking about it

Here's the problem with this entire thread: that is a deadly weapon. The kid needed the police. Period. No one suggested it.
I was also "bullied" in the 8th grade and I know for a fact that some of them were already criminals and some others went to prison some years later. I once had someone deliberately run full speed and slam me into a locker from behind and I was lucky no bones in my face were broken. I had another "bully" literally randomly decide take out a knife and put it to my throat unprovoked.
The whole problem is adults not taking responsibility for policing assaults in schools just because they are minors. They literally place the blame on the victims. Think about what that would be like if adults were treated like that."Well Bob it's your own fault your were beaten with an iron on your way from your front door to the car yesterday. We all know Tom across the street escalates if you don't cut him at least a little the first time he threatens you."

Your 8th grader actually uses “diffuse” in a sentence? Spells embarrass correctly?
And you as the “parent” have a profile with the name “LuciusDickusMaximus”?
Uh huh. I call BS on all of it.
Your “son” is worried that a bully is going to actually bother traveling all the way out to a summer camp to beat up someone for being UGLY? Good God, there’s an over-active imagination.
Why is “tire iron” inserted into this so oddly?
Explain how and why a total stranger could identify him exactly as being a male at all, not to mention ugly or handsome, an 8th grader camper and not an adult with a gun, or even actually attending this camp at all at that time? And how would he even know where this camp is?
This sounds like either someone who knows him VERY well and is wanting revenge for something VERY dumb that the kid did…
or NONE of this ever happened.

Js425
For anyone who has got this far down, OP is a serial liar and phoney, he likely doesn’t have children as his post history is full of lots of different descriptions of himself including having “an older sister in college” in a teen advice channel as well as asking someone to edit out his ex wife from a photo.
The scenario you’re all worked up over isn’t real and nor is this person.

I'm less disappointed that OP is a serial liar than I am disappointed over how obvious of a liar OP is tbh. Lame.

So both your kid and ChatGPT misused the word "defuse"? I believe it from an 8th grader (or someone looking for Reddit points) but not from the LLM itself.
On the off chance this is real, please get off the internet and talk to your son immediately and help him out.
