Have you heard of books?
I have heard of books, but my kids prefer to have a large percentage of the knowledge of books on their wrist, such that if they see a clam at the beach and want to know about it, we don't need to wait until library day on Tuesday.
Can't they just ask their parents? Do you really think it's a good idea to give little kids unsupervised access to an LLM chatbot?
For questions their parents know the answers to, absolutely. That is the best idea. But the alternative to an LLM chatbot isn't their parents, it's Google. And Google has been showing kids pornography for decades. So, why not give kids access to information that does not also have access to pornography?
