Reading the article the parent just went along with the kids talking to Grok and even selecting the personality without much interference. That’s a long way from taking control of media usage or even building media literacy. I absolutely agree that you shouldn’t straight up forbid kids from interacting with LLMs, but given the potential of the technology I would highly recommend close overwatch and giving good and plentyful context. I don’t think that was the case here, it sounds like the parents are not well versed in the area and just think of it as a fun distraction for their kids.
