Is it a good idea to let a 16 yrs old use an AI assistant .i.e. chatgpt? (lemmy.ml)

What are pros and cons of doing this? What impact it will have on the personality / mind of the person down the line after say 10 yrs?

If it doesn't understand what it's saying can you really say it knows it? It has access to a lot of training data so it can get many things correct, but it's effectively just generating the most likely answer from the training data

Well obviously it doesn't "know" know, it's not alive.

We are all generating the most likely answer from the training data. But going back to the original question : what do you fear chatgpt would say that would be detrimental to a 16 year old?
