"For context, Jen and her husband, Cooke Maroney, welcomed their second child in March - three years after their first baby, Cy, was born. Last week, Jen recalled her postpartum experience during a wide-ranging chat with the New Yorker. "I just thought every time he was sleeping he was dead," she said of her youngest child. "I thought he cried because he didn't like his life, or me, or his family. I thought I was doing everything wrong, and that I would ruin my children.""
"Jennifer recalled breaking down in tears as she turned to the AI-powered platform ChatGPT with a question about breastfeeding. In response, the robot said, "You're doing the most amazing thing for your baby. You're such a loving mother" - and the New Yorker reporter noted that Jen ultimately questioned "the sincerity" of anyone who gave her similar words of comfort."
Jennifer Garner and husband Cooke Maroney welcomed their second child in March, three years after their first, Cy. She experienced pronounced postpartum anxiety after the second birth, fearing that her sleeping baby was dead and believing the baby cried because he disliked life, her, or his family. She worried she was doing everything wrong and would ruin her children. She broke down and asked ChatGPT about breastfeeding and later received a helpful new drug, Zurzuvae. She reported that her real-life postpartum experience informed her portrayal of a new mother dealing with postnatal depression in the film Die, My Love.
