I think it's worth remembering that there's room for thoughtful design in the way kids play. Are LLMs a useful tool for encouraging children to develop their imaginations or their visual or spatial reasoning skills? Or would these tools shape their thinking patterns to exactly mirror those encoded into the LLM?

I think there's something beautiful and important about the fact that parents shape their kids, leaving with them some of the best (and worst) aspects of themselves. Likewise with their interactions with other people.

The tech is cool. But I think we should aim to be thoughtful about how we use it.
