I’ve been having The Talk with my kids recently. They’ll say “I looked up this question and the answer was X.” And I’ll ask “was that answer on a credible website, or was it an AI summary?” And then explain, again, that LLMs are great at producing plausible sounding explanations for things, but that you have to ground-truth anything that they tell you if it’s important that it’s correct.

Some countries are banning social media for teenagers, but they really should be banning "AI" all teenagers. Most adults can't even be trusted with asking an "AI" about anything, so children are going to have a very warped world view the more they interact with "AI". The tech really is not ready for prime time.
