> How do you give your kids some certainty in an age that is lacking certainty?<p>I don’t think this has much if anything to do with AI. It’s like my parents asking for advice on raising a kid during the age of the Pentium chip.<p>You teach them to be comfortable with uncertainty. One of the most valuable skills that a huge number of adults lack.<p>Show them that most things don’t matter a great deal in the long run. Let them do what they want in most reasonable cases.<p>Tell them you don’t know when you don’t now. Show them that being wrong is good.
There are certainties only adults need to understand, such as we will die. However, my close friend's three little girls understand this following his early death.<p>The certainty that kids require is to know know they are loved and provided for.<p>As humans we all have to chose at some stage a worldview that believes we are material objects or there is a God. I have chosen the latter and brought my children up with the knowledge of the Bible. I am certain God is with me, this life will have challenges, and I will go to a better place when I die.
"Lacking certainty" seems to me to be very different from "age of AI" (unless you mean that AI gives confident answers of uncertain truthfulness).<p>There are two problems that you should address that I see.<p>First, how do you teach them not to believe everything an AI says? Well, how do you teach them not to believe everything a politician says? An advertiser? A peer? Do that with AI, too. It's not a new problem.<p>Second, how do you keep them from being emotionally attached to an AI? Give them hugs. Give them eye contact. Give them genuine attention from an actual human - lots of it - and pray that it's enough.
Education is incredibly important. Giving your kids al the freedom with AI without really showing its proper use is a big mistake especially at this day and age.<p>Teaching your kids about how AI is a resource, a tool, something revolutionary, or similar is the best approach.
We don't have AI. Nor do we have a path forward to AI. Feedfoward matrix multiplies are never going to be AI, no matter how much manual shit you wrap them in.<p>All we have is a more efficient search engines.<p>Id be more worried about your kids falling down conservative thought pipelines than AI.
