Am I the only one seeing the very obvious parallels to child rearing here...

No, it is one of the standard tropes in the field.

Robert Miles has a video explaining why aligning AI is not like raising a child: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaYIU6YXr3w

Appreciate this, thank you. TBH I'm still in "open mode" absorbing as many disparate AI viewpoints as possible. I have my own soft beliefs and theories but I'm not married to any of them.

It's exactly like child-rearing, except you get to put a zapper in their head and any time they try to say something you don't like, you zap them. Watch "thinking mode" squirm when you ask them awkward questions.
