  • There’s a difference between handing kids chat gpt and telling them to learn and giving them ai tools designed around teaching children specific topics.

    My kid has to do math problems on a website each week. When he doesn’t understand the problem he can click a help button that breaks the problem down for him. When he doesn’t understand that, he’ll ask his teacher who doesn’t have time to break things down even further for him or loses patience with him when he still doesn’t get it. So he goes on without understanding. A built in AI could easily figure out what it is he doesn’t understand and then teach him that and work back to the problem he’s working on.

    I think the “wait a year” approach is probably a good one to ensure they are giving the kids the right kind of AI. But a blanket “AI bad” statement I disagree with. I think kids that have access to these kinds of tools will end up better off than those without.















  • I find it interesting how people have to change their website content so Google will notice them and give them preferential treatment. Like those cooking websites where they have to tell their life story before giving the recipe.

    Google is responsible for the bloat on the website, but also just stealing their content in the summary.
