Continued working with my team to grow my granddaughter who at 15 months handles a spoon and fork to feed herself at each meal; drinks from a cup without assistance; can clean her face and understand everything she is told or asked (though sometimes with a devious smile makes what an adult might consider a poor choice.... She is testing her boundaries like she is supposed to do). I have learned how to and produced 6 different embroidery patterns on various pieces of infant clothing. I combined multiple web based directions to create a Wi-Fi enabled USB (from a raspberry pi W 2) to enable a link from my computer to my embroidery machine. I made cookies and shared them with others creating a lot of joy I'm visiting with my grandson in another state, modeling good parenting and offering help where I can.

Her answer - the poster can be female.

At first I thought it was meant to be funny but yeah, this has to be some AI slop surely.

Nah, no shade on the poster but AI slop would be better written, more saccharine and emphatic. You have to provide an AI generator very specific writing style prompts to come up with the same thing.

Colored it a corporate beige.

Who the heck is so brain broken as to talk about their grandchild as a startup project and their family as a frigging team.

I have to almost need to see this as AI in order to maintain sanity because there’s no way an actual human being talked about a child—their human grandchild like he was a product.

You’re calling someone “brain broken” for writing a comment in a cute manner to make it sound like product development. It’s time to take a step back and relax.

you're telling on yourself, highlighting that you're so humorless that you couldn't tell it was an intentional parody of corporate double speak, contrasting one of the most human experiences with one of the least human. It's ironic that you tried to call him brain broken lol

It's clearly a joke. You've never heard people make corporate inspired comments about normal activities? Never had friends talk about sending them a calendar invite for dinner?

I don't talk about spending time with my children, friends, and family like they're a job, no.

Is it that much work in your mind to be social with the people you care about or are you just unable to drop the corpo think at home?

You're telling on yourself by admitting to, apparently, not considering that I COULD tell it was intentional parody, found the ironic humor in it, and STILL found it tasteless enough to call them out for talking about a child like they're a product.
