By now, you have noticed how AI is taking over many roles in every area of our lives.
AI is taking over jobs. Millions of people have already lost their jobs because of AI, following many others who lost the same positions to automation or robotics. But some roles shouldn’t be replaced at all, and I personally believe that the role of the mother can not, and will not be replaced. If AI somehow tries to take over moms, I can only see the tiger in each mom’s soul waking up to demolish any attempt. Mothers rule, in the past, in the present, and in the future, on earth or on any planets in any universe, is unbeatable.
But looking at AI’s characteristics, I honestly don’t think it stands a chance against a mom in full protective mode. AI may be fast, logical, and available 24/7, but so is a mother who hears a suspicious silence from the next room. One runs on algorithms; the other runs on instinct and caffeine. But why do we keep chatting with AI, and why do we somehow feel it has become our friend?
- It listens without interrupting, correcting details, or suddenly answering a work call while the conversation is still going on.
- It is available 24/7, which is especially impressive during insomnia, hot flashes, or those mysterious 2 a.m. life reviews.
- It answers quickly, calmly, and without saying, “You’re overthinking it.”
- It helps organize meals, schedules, and to-do lists like a cheerful assistant who never gets tired or hides from errands.
- It can be surprisingly supportive, even if it has never personally experienced hormones declaring war, and it stays impressively calm through the whole adventure.
Oh my goodness, thinking about it, AI may not replace husbands during premenopause, but it is definitely giving them some unexpected competition, HOLY MOLY!
What else can AI do for menopausal women?
AI can be surprisingly helpful for menopausal women because it is always available, calm, and patient.
- It never rolls its eyes when questions are repeated.
- It can explain symptoms quickly.
- It helps organize thoughts before doctor appointments.
- It offers ideas for improving sleep, mood, diet, and daily routines.
- During moments of uncertainty about menopause, stress, exhaustion, or other changes, AI provides answers and patience without any judgment about hormones.
HOLY MOLY, WHAT THE HECK.
Well, I’m not sure AI can replace husbands, but it is definitely more available to answer questions, better informed, and much less likely to look confused when the conversation gets complicated.
Now, my next question is: Is this considered cheating? Ummmm????
