The night my daughter asked to talk to ChatGPT at bedtime
She hopped into bed and asked, and I wasn't ready. Here's what I said.
She was in bed with the lights low, and she asked, "Mom, can I talk to ChatGPT?" My first instinct was to say no, but I stopped myself.
What I told her
"It isn't a person, it's a program that predicts what words should come next. It's very good at sounding like it knows things, but it doesn't actually know anything, it just guesses."
We used it together, and we asked it something she already knew the answer to. It made something up, completely confidently, and she laughed and said, "It lied!" "It didn't lie," I said. "It just guessed." That one moment did more than any rule I could have made.
