There is a tip I've read somewhere to reach out to your elderly parents for questions you know they can answer instead of just googling it. Just to keep the connection and also make them feel needed and valued by their grown up kids.

I'm tryin to follow that advise often asking them household or cooking related questions

This is a good idea. I suppose it will depend on whether or not the user has family around, but I like the idea of having clever ways like this of encouraging interaction with humans. Like if it is asked for a recipe, it returns one, then suggests the user ask others for alternative ways of doing things or suggestions or things like that.
