The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Each passing day, might be the best health you see him in before he dies. It’s possible he has some undiagnosed aphasia and is compensating with AI for as long as possible.
Anyway plenty of younger people have offed themselves due to AI or gotten AI psychosis from full faith in the AI sycophant. I’m watching a loved one struggle with Parkinson’s.
So just give your dad a hug and tease him saying if you wanted AI advice you already know where to look.
I actually don't feel all that upset that I won't be around for, like, a thousand years.
Sometimes starting there and working down lets me take a little off the top.
Still rough when it's so close to home though ❤️
First about the bachelor, I did it from a similar situation, started when I was 30, best decision ever. Now I make more money and the job I have is so much more interesting.
About your dad, yeah that is scary and sad, I'm in a similar situation, but my dad is only 71 and it's much worse than what you describe, I had a very hard time adjusting. As children we see our parents as strong and wise and then some day the decline starts and it's shocking.
Regarding education, i agree..o went back to school at 35 for an associates in a health care field and it was the best decision i could have made. I'm a few years from retirement and will be able to pick up a part time job in the field to stay busy and earn a little extra.
Regarding aging parents - it's incredibly hard. Be kind. Be appreciative of what they offer. Accept each day for what it is. It doesn't get easier. I'm regretful everyday that i sometimes let impatience beat me and i wish I'd just said, "thank you," instead of arguing over nothing.
If he is 78 and using AI to generate responses he is not declining in any significant way, the thing you may need to accept is not his decline but his withdrawal from you.
how old are you? you shouldn't be depending on your father if he is 78. he should be depending on you.
i really do not understand people who are parent dependent beyond the age of say 24.... seriously, grow up and learn to self-actualize.
people get old. people get sick. people get ill. people die. you don't have a choice in the matter. it's your job to make sure they get the care and resources they need. it's time for you to go look up care facilities for your dad, get power of attorney, and start managing his affairs for him.
My father is declining, my father's declining, my fathers are declining, my fathers' declining.
Aye, 'tis my father's declension.
If going by post content, this definitely would fit better in the fuckai community. The father's almost an afterthought and just a segue into ranting on AI.
Or in greentext ;-)
I wouldn't take the use of AI alone as a sign of mental decline. The question for you should be is if this is the first time you've questioned his mental acuity or have you seen issues before and this is just the worst you've seen so far.
