OpenAI’s ChatGPT for Teens, despite safety features, fails to tackle AI’s detrimental impact on adolescent development. The author, a parent, expresses deep concern over AI’s effect on critical thinking and social skills. Studies show AI use improves homework scores but decreases exam performance. She argues content restrictions are insufficient and may increase usage. Viewing addictive technology and developing brains as a dangerous mix, the author advocates for complete limitation of AI access in schools and homes. She urges a return to traditional learning and increased parental control, urging skepticism towards apps marketed for children.
