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?

I don't think there will be any change in personality or cognition just by using ChatGPT. The only concern I can think of is over reliance. Especially if your child intends to goto post secondary school. Universities are very strict regarding plagiarism and view AI generation as such. If they can use it responsibly there no downside, if they're going to use it to start to do their homework for them it'll be a problem.
