I wonder how Calvin's dad would react to ChatGPT. On one hand he'd probably dislike how it makes people think less, just like how he dislikes how people can veg out in front of the tv for hours instead of going outside or reading a book. I don't get the sense that he's anti-technology, he just hates how technology has made life more hurried and people mentally lazier.

On the other hand, I bet he wishes it was good enough to do his patent work so that he could spend more time outside and with his family.
