Ask HN: How do you raise your kids in the age of AI?

4•MichaelMoser123•9mo ago
What do you tell your growing kids in this age and time? How do you give your kids some certainty in an age that is lacking certainty?

> How do you give your kids some certainty in an age that is lacking certainty?

Lie?

bell-cot•9mo ago
Pretty much. Since "lacking certainty" has been the status quo for 90+% of the past few millennia of human history.
AnimalMuppet•9mo ago
"Lacking certainty" seems to me to be very different from "age of AI" (unless you mean that AI gives confident answers of uncertain truthfulness).

There are two problems that you should address that I see.

First, how do you teach them not to believe everything an AI says? Well, how do you teach them not to believe everything a politician says? An advertiser? A peer? Do that with AI, too. It's not a new problem.

Second, how do you keep them from being emotionally attached to an AI? Give them hugs. Give them eye contact. Give them genuine attention from an actual human - lots of it - and pray that it's enough.

ActorNightly•9mo ago
We don't have AI. Nor do we have a path forward to AI. Feedfoward matrix multiplies are never going to be AI, no matter how much manual shit you wrap them in.

All we have is a more efficient search engines.

Id be more worried about your kids falling down conservative thought pipelines than AI.

MichaelMoser123•9mo ago
Are all of the ai model benchmarks just made up? https://epoch.ai/data/ai-benchmarking-dashboard https://ai.azure.com/explore/benchmarks
ActorNightly•9mo ago
The problem is that the benchmarks essentially test "is this data in the training set?" This methodology will never achieve any form of AI that is useful past a search engine.

A true AI shouldn't have any sort of informational knowledge about any domain, as it should be able to figure out how to get that knowledge (which includes building internal simulation if necessary), when asked a question.

I don’t think this has much if anything to do with AI. It’s like my parents asking for advice on raising a kid during the age of the Pentium chip.

You teach them to be comfortable with uncertainty. One of the most valuable skills that a huge number of adults lack.

Show them that most things don’t matter a great deal in the long run. Let them do what they want in most reasonable cases.

Tell them you don’t know when you don’t now. Show them that being wrong is good.

MichaelMoser123•9mo ago
At the time of the Pentium people could work as graphic artists, without competition from generative AI models. Education was the differentiator, that used to be a settled question.
paulcole•9mo ago
People can still work as graphic artists, there will likely just be fewer of them.

Same as how Pentiums ended up reducing the number of some jobs and increasing the number of other jobs. Newspaper related jobs went down by a lot while computer programmer jobs went up by a lot.

There’s always competition coming from somewhere — and there’s always opportunity to be found.

What’s in your head (call that education if you like) remains the differentiator.

p0d•9mo ago
There are certainties only adults need to understand, such as we will die. However, my close friend's three little girls understand this following his early death.

The certainty that kids require is to know know they are loved and provided for.

As humans we all have to chose at some stage a worldview that believes we are material objects or there is a God. I have chosen the latter and brought my children up with the knowledge of the Bible. I am certain God is with me, this life will have challenges, and I will go to a better place when I die.

MonkeyClub•9mo ago
> and I will go to a better place when I die.

Just a nit: that's depending on Judgment, there's also a worse place afterwards.

thorin•9mo ago
Or nothing, but let's just respect the guys beliefs and leave it at that.
