When my kid was learning to read, we read with her a lot. These days, most of her reading is independent, and she reads many books that contain words that don't commonly occur in normal conversation. Since she is reading these books solo, we don't have a chance to make sure she is learning the proper pronunciation, and we only find out about these gaps when she very cutely says them the wrong way. If she were using an AI tutor alongside me, that would largely be a waste of my time, if the whole idea is to give every kid an AI tutor. But if she were using it without me, then I would worry about the things that she is "learning" that might not be true. AI speaks confidently, even when it is very, very wrong. But it is right about enough things that kids would likely treat its utterances as truth, as a not-unreasonable heuristic. I'm sure I'll let my kid use an AI tutor at some point, but I will have to observe it, and observe how she uses it, for quite some time before letting her use it alone.
