That's very naive. AI replaces any and all "less fun" forms of interaction, for children who are too undeveloped to appreciate any goal/metric besides "fun". Meeting new unfamiliar kids is not fun, ergo kids will fallback to the known-safe, comfortable, fun companion that is AI.

If you believe the argument makes enough sense to justify replacing adults, then why do you think children will still want to play with each other, instead of just playing with AI? If anything, other children are MORE likely to display shitty behaviors than adults, given that you know, they're fucking children who don't know any better.

Have you spent any time around children?

I’ve spent years being one.

Years ago back when there was no AI biasing your interactions with other children... The entire argument is that the new generations don't have the same opportunity to form friendships in an unfettered way like you did in your childhood, because of the pervasive influence of AI that didn't exist during your own childhood.
