OK, it’s page three-oh-four,” said Olympia in the clip helping her father flip the page to go to the next part. Ohanian enthusiastically asked Olympia whether she wanted him to do voices while reading. Interestingly, Olympia responded, “yes!” with an adorable smile on her face.

Serena Williams’ husband uses AI as a bedtime tradition with Olympia 

Last year, Fatherly.com shared how the husband of Serena Williams came up with stories for his daughter Olympia, showing how he merged his technical knowledge with fatherhood. In ‘Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?’ Ohanian spoke about using AI to get narratives for Olympia.

And so the way we do bedtime stories is actually by prompting Chat GPT and saying, you know, I’ll ask Chat GPT to give me a bedtime story appropriate for a 6-year-old, that will take 10 minutes to read,” said Ohanian. This Reddit co-founder further revealed how he asks Olympia for prompts and then the Chat GPT delivers them a story.

“It’s like Mad Libs, she says, ‘Oh, three sisters,’ and I’m like, ‘OK, three sisters.’ What are their names? She told me their names, their ages. And then they have special pets. … She’s basically dictating the prompt for the AI. And then we hit enter, and we watch it come out,” he says. “I print it out, and I read it to her at bedtime,” revealed Serena Williams’ husband.

Alexis Ohanian’s recent revelations about Olympia’s preferences represent that their baby girl is growing up fast as she understands the use of AI with her father. More than that, it allows people to see Alexis Ohanian’s extreme dedication to keeping his family happy.
