Lilian Schmidt, a 33-year-old mom living in Switzerland, is proudly using ChatGPT to “co-parent” her daughter. In an interview with SWNS, Schmidt says ChatGPT has helped her and her partner “carry the mental load” of raising a toddler.

Schmidt, who is outspoken about her ADHD on TikTok, doesn’t let ChatGPT “make” decisions for her daughter, but instead relies on it for help around the house, including meal prepping, writing bedtime stories and making grocery lists.

@heylilianschmidt Mom stress & mental load ≠ badge of honor. We’re using ChatGPT to make motherhood lighter, smarter, and way less chaotic. If you’re done doing it all alone, you’re in the right place - because we don’t gatekeep mom hacks around here #momhacks#chatgpt#chatgptprompts#toddlermom♬ Falling into Love - Raya

Schmidt and her partner both have demanding full-time jobs, so for them, ChatGPT has been a huge help in coming up with ideas to keep their toddler busy. Along those lines, her personalized ChatGPT has been tasked with mundane and boring tasks like “planning birthday presents,” making packing lists for holidays and even “assuming [sic] the role of a toddler therapist” for those times when her daughter is tough to manage.

Schmidt knows her parenting style isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach, which is why she started a TikTok where she helps other moms find a ChatGPT co-parent that’s right for them.

@heylilianschmidt Here's the exact ChatGPT prompt I used I uploaded a picture of my daughter to make sure the results look EXACTLY like her. But first - I turned OFF permission for ChatGPT/OpenAl to use my content to train its models to protect her privacy. You can do this under Settings > Data Controls > Improve the model for everyone - or you can simply describe what your child looks like instead of uploading a photo! Now here's the prompt: "This is a picture of my child. Please use it to create a cute DIN A4 coloring page of my child and [insert favorite TV characters]. Make sure it looks EXACTLY like my child, and create a simple, easy-to-color scene and background. Ensure it prints well in black & white with no fine details that are hard to color." My daughter LOVED this and wanted to color instead of watching TV! ☺️ Loved this?

I’ll concede that I don’t know the first thing about parenting or ChatGPT, but if you have time to run a social media page on top of your full-time job as a brand strategist, you probably have time to pick out your daughter’s birthday present, too.
