I'm seeing a lot of folks react with some variation on "wow, what a terrible parent", but I actually kind of sympathize with Mayer here: I would find it *really hard* to boil down what makes my kid special into three bullet points. The answer isn't to outsource it to AI, though; ugh. You can just *not do it*. What are you trying to do, get an A in parenting? I promise your kid's teacher doesn't want to read slop. Just show up for the parent-teacher conference and have a damn conversation, sheesh

@lindsey@recurse.social Yeah, I wondered about the school, too. It doesn't say "three words to describe why your kid is special" or "three sentences to describe why your kid is special" It says bullet points I might have ducked it with "nothing and everything about my kid is special" but you and I agree that turning to AI is the worst solution
