OPINION - We've outsourced our lives to Big Tech, but I won't let ChatGPT — or some app — name my baby

Sam Altman isn’t ordinarily high on the list of men with the power to derail my love life (he is, after all, a man who ate so few vegetables while building his first start-up that he contracted scurvy) but recently my relationship was brought to its knees by Altman.
