Is it a good idea to let a 16 yrs old use an AI assistant .i.e. chatgpt? - eviltoast

What are pros and cons of doing this? What impact it will have on the personality / mind of the person down the line after say 10 yrs?

    Have you asked ChatGPT? Jk lol

    Honestly, whatever they use ChatGPT for is probably fine. If you feel like they’re going to cheat on their homework or something, you can just ask them to do a small sample in front of you. Plus, it’s not like ChatGPT is going away, no matter how much the NYT and Disney complain. Best bet is for them to get familiar with the technology now.

    Also, there’s literally no way to the long-term effects of AI. I strongly suspect that if people use it as a crutch, it will create intellectually and creatively stunted people. But it’s not like we don’t have that now…
