It's quite the mass experiment we're doing here. Seems irresponsible of parents to allow this.

Teach your kids that AI is shit from the start. And, while you're at it model responsible use of tech generally. If you sit staring at your phone, that's what your kid will do.

    Except… that fuels rebelliousness. “Oh, dad told me it was bad; it must be good then, somehow.” Gotta get hip with it so they get weirded and grossed out.

    this is precisely with kids don't want to drink or smoke weed anymore, their parents do it, talk openly about it, and it's lame.

    might also be why they are not having sex anymore, because their parents made it boring and lame.

    Education really is a panacea to many of our ills with technology.

    Unfortunately we gutted computer classes just as they became ubiquitous and handed the educational reins to billion dollar megacorpos who only care about harvesting dollars and attention.

    AI really is the haymaker on that huge mistake, but we can still educate everyone as best we can and hope some take it to heart!
