Kind of stupid when one of the few things they’re actually good at is teaching and breaking down concepts to help learning. It’s not always right and you shouldn’t just blindly trust it but they’re usually pretty good at breaking concepts down to be understandable.
Just seems like another kneejerk moral panic policy with little actual thought put in behind it.

Remember, the goal isn’t to block under 16s from using the chat bot, the goal is to normalize government information blockades of the internet and putting services behind an ID verification wall.

Why stop there?
Why not block them from using the internet or electricity as a whole?
AI is here and it’s here to stay. You can either learn to use it or be struggling and feeling left behind.
These kids need to learn how to use the tools of tomorrow, otherwise we risk them being left behind their peers globally.
We shouldn’t just jump to banning things because we don’t understand them or don’t like them. We need to learn how to use them safely and effectively and then teach our young people how to do so.
