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 not even a good idea to let quite a lot of adults use ChatGPT. People don't know how it works, don't treat the answers with anything close to appropriate skepticism, and often ask about things they don't have the knowledge/skills to verify. And anything it tells you, you likely will need to verify.

It's quite unlikely to affect their personality, but it might make them believe a bunch of weird shit that some unknowable, undebuggable computer program hallucinated up. If you've done an uncommonly great job with their critical thinking skills, great. If not, better get started. That is not specific to "AI" though.

People don't know how TV works and we are hardly gonna tell people not to use it.

As long as people are aware that some responses might be made up it should be fine for anyone to use it.
