You can also check ai-u.com for new or trending tools that might be better suited for younger kids! Just thought it might help.
My kid started using it at 12 with me around. It actually helped him with homework and sparked his curiosity.
Honestly, I think teens around 13 or 14 can handle it fine as long as there's some guidance. It's kinda like internet use in general, gotta keep an eye on them.
I'm a bit worried about younger kids using it unsupervised. They might get confused or trust something that's not totally accurate.
Honestly, it’s less about age and more about teaching kids how to ask the right questions and use the answers responsibly.
I’m curious if schools have started setting any age guidelines or rules for ChatGPT use? Anyone know?
I think making kids under 10 use it is too much, but teens should be good. They can usually tell what's legit or not.
As someone who works in tech education, I encourage parents to introduce it around middle school but always with some instruction on digital literacy.
There’s no official age limit, right? So it kinda depends on each kid’s maturity and parents’ comfort level.
I let my 10 year old try it out but only with me nearby. They seemed to enjoy it but I’m careful about what they ask.
