Be wary of introducing the usage of LLMs at an age where instead the development of critical reasoning should be encouraged. LLMs aren't necessarily inherently bad, but they are SEDUCTIVE and over time it may become very easy to immediately reach for an LLM the moment you have a problem instead of taking some time to quietly ponder on your own.
Reasoning and problem solving is a CRAFT, and if it's not practiced it will atrophy.
Let's not fall into the trap of "LLMs are just a tool like a calculator". An LLM is like a calculator where you can just say, "Here's a math problem please solve it for me."
