The issue was that he has seen these kids being entertained by smartphones. This kind of implies that they were not in daycare or any other position where they could interact with humans, unless the parents wanted to interact with them, which they obviously didn't (or couldn't, for whichever reason). That was the context.
The parent post is throwing AI at the problem. The solution isn't to improve technology to make it better at parenting/babysitting our children.

I'm not sure where it is ok for children, particularly early developing children, to not be around other humans, or humans that can't or don't want to interact with the children. If that's the case, that's another problem altogether.
If people are having children just to have them raised by technology/AI, I hope they realize that before having children and reconsider.
