If it were me I would be more concerned about what kind of future we're actually building for my child, but fair enough. Immediate survival takes priority.

That said, I think an awful lot of children today are going to grow up under the shadow of AI and they will not be grateful for it.

Yeah, like I said, I hope we work it out! The technology isnt going away. Maybe we can slow and contol it with global coordination if China and US can cooperate.

The future will be different. Hopefully the good ways will outweigh the bad.

Im fairly excited about AI integrated child education. I think it opens a lot of opportunities for kids to move and explore at their own pace- Hopefully with a caring human involved in some areas.

Maybe we can get the good ending!

Wish I had your optimism.

I see that phones and tablets are absolutely cooking the brains of my nieces and nephews, I don't have any hope that adding AI to the mix will help that any

Yeah, my expectation is it'll be like phones, tablets, or internet today where responsible parents highly restrict them and are thoughtful and deliberate in their usage.

The downside is that this raises the developmental ceiling and lowers the floor, but those kids will have to find a way to coexist as adults.

Some parents will have purpose built llm tutors, while other parents will just cut their kids loose with grok and Twitter.
