Ask HN: As parents, what is your "AI policy" for your children?

Do you allow your children access to AI chatbots or other LLM-used tools? What boundaries have you put in place, and how is it working out so far? What are your experiences with your children interacting with LLM-based systems from ChatGPT to voice speakers?

> Do you allow your children access to AI chatbots or other LLM-used tools? They are 15 nad 16 so yes. They use that a lot.

> What boundaries have you put in place Just pure education and explaining how AI work.

> and how is it working out so far? Good adoption for school and personal use. So far no red flags (but who knows!)

My thirteen year old thinks that AI tools are an abomination and freely shames anyone who uses them. I have no idea where this opinion came from - certainly not me.
