alt Hacker NewsWondering if you thought about the effects that AI exposure can have on a young brain? Adults are experiencing brain rot, do you think kids could have it even worse?
Honest question, I don’t mean that sarcastically. Wondering if AI exposure will be compared to doomscrolling social media in the future.

Are you actually serious with this question?
Brain rot is not a serious term… anything can become a problem if it’s done too much and often compared to ‘other things’

It's a line I've been trying to balance. I don't think outright bans are helpful. AI is going to be there in some shape or form in the future and we need to know how to use it to our advantage. Getting hooked onto it is a problem. I know I experience that myself.
My main barrier against this has been to talk with him regularly about this. Amplify the positives rather than warn about the negatives so that the first gets done more and the latter gets atrophied.
