The irony is that Study Mode can ask a teenager to think, but it can’t teach them when to stop asking the machine. Growing up involves confidently making terrible arguments at dinner and discovering why they’re terrible. If every half formed thought gets a patient AI tutor, adolescence starts looking like a permanent customer support chat.
It will also position the AI as a wise mentor to millions of kids, which is terrible when you consider its owned by billionaire sociopaths. They will use this trust.
Maybe we just need to teach kids how to harvest their own massive data sets and train their own models. “Kids should learn to code” style.

I think AI is general is going to fuck up a lot of teens. I tend to advise the younger people either use Local Models or don’t use AI at all.
I’m starting to think of ChatGPT as more dangerous for kids than many of the hard drugs out there. Honestly starting to think it should be outright dismantled as a criminal enterprise.
