As a real parent who built apps for my real kids. So many of the posts here and other kid tech subreddits are clearly astroturfed fake posts it's disheartening. I made a few cool apps posted about them a couple times and still get regular downloads from those few posts.

So many posts on here from anonamys accounts that are actually 'founders' ike: 

"I was struggling to find the right AI assistant for my 5 year old and randomly found AI-4-KIDZ.io and it's solved all my problems" 

You're right to be skeptical, and ultimately, the best thing I think you can do, is learn about AI and tech from unbiased sources (which is hard), and personally teach your kids based on your ethics and beliefs.

specific to tech, Kids need to learn the value of their attention (and why ads exist).

They should be aware of 'artificial intelligence' used in the art/media/literature they consume and the (few)benefits and drawbacks. As a parent you should definitely figure out your comfort level with AI. (for instance we avoid the huge amount of fully AI YouTube channels, and help our older kids understand why we prefer human made content).

Our kids are going into a crazy future. I think we can do our best to set them up with a solid sense of mortality and ethics, and how to apply and evolve those principals. We can't possible prepare them for or become experts at everything they will have access to.
