Tutor for whatever the kid has the curiosity to ask.

You don’t need to be a “prompt engineer” to get use out of a language model. You just have to recognize what it is, and what it isn’t.

If that can’t be taught to children, there’s no sense fretting over AI. We don’t need it to fail.

I'd rather kids not be taught by something that hallucinates and spits out accurate-sounding lies. The education system is already struggling to teach kids to read and has been removing math from california schools (two front page news here this week). Adding a lying tutor should be classified as child neglect.

That said, I like the AI, but only as an adult who has enough training to question whether I'm being lied to by an auto regressive Turing machine.

Newspapers and the government already basically spit out accurate sounding lies all the time also.

it would make a poor tutor for you. even as an adult.

go find examples of the lying tutor you hypothesize - you might just find smart kids extracting value from chaos. your fears will not deny them that.
