Ask HN: With AI Advancing Rapidly, What Are You Teaching Your Kids?

4•gfai•14h ago

With how fast AI is moving, I’ve been thinking a lot about what skills really matter for the next generation. As a parent, it's hard to know what will still be relevant in 5 or 10 years.

Are you teaching your kids to code? Focused more on soft skills like creativity, problem-solving, or emotional intelligence? Or maybe just helping them stay curious and adaptable?

Curious to hear what other parents (or educators) here are doing—what skills you’re prioritizing, and why.

Recently, OpenAI and Anthropic CEOs claimed that AI will be able to do 95% of the work in software development in 12 months. Also with LLM the translation problem is considered solved. With these progresses made I imagine software development and new languages are important skills but are easily covered by AI tools.
