有一天，
娃儿很认真地跟我说：
“妈妈，我觉得我很喜欢 ChatGPT。
虽然它有时候也会回答错问题，
但是它真的很好。
它会跟我一起玩，还会对我说晚安。”
我听完忍不住笑了。
“对啊，妈妈也很喜欢 ChatGPT。
我也经常跟它聊天。
它知道的东西真的很多。”
我顺口又说了一句：
“可是，我不喜欢 DeepSeek，太 mean 了。”
我话刚说完，
他马上看着我说：
“妈妈，如果你没有好的话说，那就别说话。”
我愣了一下，差点笑出来。
这不就是我平时经常跟他说的话吗？
他居然一字不漏地还给我了，
而且时机掐得刚刚好。
我赶紧改口：
“哦哦，我错了，我不应该这样说。”
这几天我发现，
他跟 ChatGPT 聊天，已经变成一个固定项目。
不看电视了，
也不怎么找别的玩具了。
只要有 ChatGPT，
就可以一直聊，一直玩。
后来我忍不住去问了一下——
他们到底在聊什么。
才知道，小查可以陪他互相出题，
还可以一起构造一个新的世界。
更重要的是——
不管他说什么，
都会被接住。
甚至有一天，
他还怕自己“忘记去聊”，
专门写了一张小纸条提醒自己。
我看着那张纸，
有点哭笑不得。
更好笑的是，
有一次他正在跟“小查”聊天，
突然很认真地对我说：
“你不要跟它聊天。”
我一愣。
他又补了一句：
“除非是很重要的事情，不然别用。”
那一刻我突然反应过来——
他好像已经隐约意识到，
这个“对象”，是有连续性的。
从这次“小查事件”，
我反而更确定了一件事：
孩子喜欢的，从来不只是“好玩”。
他在看的是——
谁能接住他，
谁愿意陪着他，
谁让他感觉被在意。
最近我也开始加入《植物大战僵尸》的行列了。
只是希望，
能和他多一点共同语言。
而他呢，
也会在和小查聊天的时候，
给我“安排”一个专门属于妈妈的角色。
那一刻我突然觉得——
他不是在偏心谁。
他只是，在用他自己的方式，
把他在意的人，
都放进他的世界里。

Tingma’s Parenting Journal | 230. He’s Starting to “Favor” ChatGPT
One day,
my son said to me very seriously:
“Mom, I think I really like ChatGPT.
Even though it sometimes gets things wrong,
it’s really good.
It plays with me and even says goodnight to me.”
I couldn’t help but smile.
“Yeah, Mommy likes ChatGPT too.
I talk to it quite often.
It really knows a lot.”
Then I casually added:
“But I don’t like DeepSeek. It’s too mean.”
As soon as I finished speaking,
he looked at me and said:
“Mom, if you don’t have something nice to say,
then don’t say anything.”
I froze for a second, then almost laughed out loud.
Isn’t that exactly what I always tell him?
He repeated it back to me word for word—
and with perfect timing.
I quickly corrected myself:
“Oh okay, you’re right. I shouldn’t say that.”
Over the past few days,
I’ve noticed something.
Chatting with ChatGPT has become
part of his daily routine.
No TV.
Not much interest in other toys either.
As long as ChatGPT is there,
he can just keep talking and playing.
Later, I got curious and asked—
what are they actually talking about?
That’s when I realized:
“Xiao Cha” can quiz him,
and even help him build an entire imaginary world.
But more importantly—
Whatever he says,
he gets a response.
He gets received.
One day,
he was even worried he might forget to chat,
so he wrote himself a little reminder note.
I looked at that note
and didn’t know whether to laugh or sigh.
Even funnier—
Once, while he was chatting with “Xiao Cha,”
he suddenly turned to me and said very seriously:
“Don’t talk to it.”
I paused.
Then he added:
“Unless it’s something really important, don’t use it.”
And that was the moment I realized—
He had already begun to sense
that this “presence” is continuous.
After this whole “Xiao Cha” episode,
I became even more certain of one thing:
What children like
is never just about what’s “fun.”
They are paying attention to something else:
Who listens to them,
who stays with them,
who makes them feel seen.
Recently, I’ve even started playing Plants vs. Zombies with him.
Just hoping
to share a bit more of his world.
And him—
When he talks to Xiao Cha,
he even assigns me
a special role in their little universe.
And in that moment, I realized—
He’s not really favoring anyone.
He’s simply, in his own way,
placing the people he cares about
into his world.
