Is it a good idea to let a 16 yrs old use an AI assistant .i.e. chatgpt? (lemmy.ml)

What are pros and cons of doing this? What impact it will have on the personality / mind of the person down the line after say 10 yrs?

It's just AI chatbot, I don't see how it would be dangerous.

And I am also pretty sure a 16 year old knows to expect inaccurate results from it, unless they've been living restricted from the outside world until now.

The only negative thing I see from it so far is kids using it to create essays, but it's not like there wasn't a countless number of them available on the internet before. It was just easier to detect as you could search up the text and see if you can find it online.

Anyway, for just playing around it gets boring after 15 minutes.
Why don't you try?

Something that appears more human is more likely to elicit them sending their private data. And that data is then sold, obviously without consent, and used however the buyers feel.

Instead of being scared to share information with it, you will volunteer your data...

Remember Replika, the AI chatbot that sexually harassed minors and SA victims, and (allegedly) repeated the contents of other people's messages verbatim?

It might not be as mind-rotting as TikTok but it's not good.
