... and, crucially, they lack the knowledge to filter bullshit and truth.
LLMs cannot say they don't know something, they will hallucinate instead, and I'd argue that is even worse for children.

FFS the solution isn't feeding AI slop to our children like we do for geese in foie gras, the solution is to properly staff schools, train teachers and to reduce working hours for parents so that they have time and mental energy to, well, parent their children.
And I'd even go further and say that persistent spreaders of lies and propaganda like Alex Jones should be forced to have age checks like porn sites. It's bad enough these people can poison the minds of dumbass adults, but they should be kept as far as possible from our children.
