Dear God no. Keep kids away from AI, and keep AI away from kids. Kids need more human contact, not less.

The more I think about it, the more I want to ban your entire business model

Personally I would like to see kids learn way way more in much less time, and it’s clear AI is going to make that possible. What you are saying sounds a lot like “I want kids to learn less and be dumber”

  • Im unsure as to how "it's clear that AI is going to make that possible".

    Things that help kids learn

    - parents who love and care for them

    - stable housing

    - stable access to food

    - stable access to high quality eduction provided by a human being

    - stable access to healthcare

    None of those are provided by AI, and never can be. The only thing that will is a thorough reimagining of the society we live in.

    Note: This is all predicated on living in America, and I pre-apologize to everyone who doesn't.

  • Business model is interesting BTW. We’re a public benefit company and are planning to make our products completely free in emerging markets and have a free tier in the US. Impact and business should be aligned here, but pulling in opposite corners.
