At what age will you introduce your kids to ChatGPT?

great question

i think what device or way will they use it is more important

i rather a static computer where they can sit at a desk and this could be for those in elementary age of 6-12

so that age range is fine.

My family's kids are now generations beyond being "mine" - but my quick advice:

After the child is intellectually mature enough to correctly answer at least 3 types of questions which ChatGPT obviously can't handle. And to appreciate how ChatGPT just keeps getting those wrong.

That lets the kid really understand how ChatGPT might be a brilliant at spewing BS...but it's still an idiot. And slightly future-proofs them - any new & improved AI, able to answer those types of questions right, probably has other fatal flaws. (But please don't drain your parents' account trying to find those flaws - okay?)

I already did and none of them (at a wide range of ages) expressed any real interest in it yet. It's just another boring computer thing Dad works with. Anything I suggest to them is automatically uncool / has zero "rizz".
