> Watching younglings talk to chatbot like it's just another particapant in a conversation makes the opposition seems futile. I'm sorry but I have a young daughter and I don't see that at all. A few years ago we moved to a different country and she had to learn a new language; initially she would use voice-based translation because that new language had a different alphabet so writing would have been harder. Before using the voice-activated app she would move to an empty room where no one could hear her, place the device just next to her mouth and whisper into the microphone... Did not seem to be natural at all - and she is a digital native (the iPhone existed when she was born). If anything it seems that young people are less likely to trust tech, compared to us. She and many of her friends have permanently placed a piece of tape on their macbook's webcams. When I tell her that back in the day people didn't care much about security and we would re-use the same password everywhere, she looks at me like I'm an alien. Kids don't have the same optimistic outlook about tech that we had back then. We grew up being told that tech would change the world, they grew up with primary school courses about the dangers of cyber-bullying.
