Baby Named by AI: An Experiment That Blew Up Social Media

American couple decided to take an unconventional approach to choosing a name for their first child — they turned to ChatGPT for ideas. The neural network suggested a name that the parents liked, and the boy was named Hudson Oakley Winkler.

However, after the story appeared on social media, the family was hit by a wave of criticism instead of congratulations. Users were bothered not only by the middle name, which many associated with a well-known brand, but also by the approach itself.

Commentators wrote that the parents 'delegated' an important and personal choice to an algorithm, forgoing live discussion and emotions. For many, the joint search for a name is an important part of the journey to parenthood.
