Children really shouldn’t be left with the impression that chatbots are some type of alternative person instead of ass-kissing google replacements that occasionally get some code right

I agree! I’m more thinking of the case where a kid might overhear what they think is a phone call when it’s actually someone being mean to Siri or whatever. I mean, there are more options than “be nice to digital entities” if we’re trying to teach children to be good humans, don’t get me wrong. I don’t give a shit about the non-feelings of the LLMs.
