    Letting your kids have “conversations” with an LLM betrays a level of ignorance about the current state of technology that is no longer acceptable in this day and age.

      So… good parenting definitely means having conversations with your kids about safety and good decision making, but I wouldn’t call controlling everything that your kids do online good parenting.

      You might discourage such things, but you can’t necessarily prevent them, at least not without making your kids complete shut-ins.

        Reading the article the parent just went along with the kids talking to Grok and even selecting the personality without much interference. That’s a long way from taking control of media usage or even building media literacy. I absolutely agree that you shouldn’t straight up forbid kids from interacting with LLMs, but given the potential of the technology I would highly recommend close overwatch and giving good and plentyful context. I don’t think that was the case here, it sounds like the parents are not well versed in the area and just think of it as a fun distraction for their kids.

    So Tesla owners are using Grok to masturbate in their cars? Fuck why would anyone ever get inside one of these things.

        Yeah, for sure. In “it tried to get him to send nudes” they decided the “it” was the boy, and the “him” was the AI? Interesting take… 😅

      “b-b-but the kid initiated it!”

      You know that excuse won’t fly in court right?
