Fascinating read. My kids play around with AI, but really only in a supervised way (they are 9 and 11). Curious if any parents of teens have had experience with this. https://www.theverge.com/2024/5/4/24144763/ai-chatbot-friends-character-teens

I haven't, but as a tween I've wanted something like this to exist. I moved around a lot and had trouble making friends. In the world of Megaman Battle Network, everyone has a cellphone-like device and an AI companion (think Siri, but competent). Often could be a kid's first friend and help build confidence.

The third parent. “It told me that I had to respect their decision to drop me [and] that I have trouble making decisions for myself,” Aaron said. “I guess that really put stuff in perspective for me. If it wasn’t for CharacterAI, healing would have been so hard.”

I am torn... technology is important but the addictive nature scares me. We are working up to it though

Also, I would discuss and exchange experiences on this topic much more. Would you be interested in such a discussion? I was thinking about making short interviews with people on this topic. Doesn’t have to be. Just here would be awesome to. New media ai blockchain etc how we prepare our kids for it.

I teach my kids how to use au. My girl (9) used it for research for a talk on class. My son (12) has dyslexia and uses it to write a paper for school. I think these tools will be a part of their life, so they have to learn how to use them properly
