> my kids love using this fantastic learning tool

> The friendly interaction between the Ello character and my kids gives them a fun motivation

> AI drives a love for reading

I cannot trust someone to assess a love for reading, if I also loathe their writing.

This whole thread is fucking scary. How are people even remotely positive about any of this shit is beyond me. Educate your kids, stop delegating the important stuff.
It's weird. I get that growing up in a nurturing household is a privilege, but I'm not sure the answer is to hook up kids to AI. Maybe some form of it could be beneficial, but it just seems too ripe for abuse, and/or too easy to have unintended consequences.

Well, some of us didn't grow up in perfect households, for one thing. I actively avoided both my parents at that age.
