The dehumanization of children and teenagers is getting out of hand.
- logicchains 24d agoIt's not dehumanization, they just dread a future where kids can learn from 24/7 tutoring from an entity smart enough to solve Millenium problems instead of from some B student who's also teaching 20 other kids at a government propaganda factory.

- onion2k 24d agoThe future I dread is one where kids don't learn and just defer everything to AI. That puts so much power into the hands of the AI companies.
- mdp2021 24d agoIt is similar to the WWW, and simply even to books (to company etc.): some people will use the available for cultivation, many for entertainment. Whether the kid will be prepared to do the right thing, to prefer the better choice, remains a societal (family, school etc.) task.
- jbs789 24d agowho is "they"? and why is this a desirable outcome exactly?
- canelonesdeverd 24d agoThis level of psychosis makes me wonder if adults should be banned from using AI as well.
- mdp2021 24d ago> if adults should be banned ... as well Yes, many nominal adults are factual minors. > This level of Some educational systems are propaganda machines. Some people cannot grasp how administrations appear to fight cultivation instead of promoting it, and given the unsightly appearance of many administrators, many people got to nurture the idea that administrations would want "masses of ignorant voters" to preserve their status as "elected". All of this is pretty trivial. And stop calling LLMs "AI".
- de-moray 24d agoHow does removing access to Clause equate to dehumanizing children?
- matheusmoreira 24d agoIt's dehumanizing because it feels like you're an incomplete human with no agency. When I was a teenager, there was nothing I hated more than obnoxious adults deciding for me what I could or couldn't do. I did literally everything in my power to circumvent them.
- azan_ 24d agoChildren absolutely should have less agency than adults.

- mdp2021 24d ago"Minors" should have less agency than adults, but the state of "minor" vs adult does not follow the plain age. (And of course there exist many dimensions of maturity.) (In fact, in some educational systems, the final examination in pre-University schools is called "Maturity test".)
- jbs789 24d agowe are all incomplete human beings with limited agency. protecting minors us about understanding stages of development.
- matheusmoreira 24d agoI don't want or need governments and corporations to "understand" my development. I'll take care of that myself, thanks.

- xpct 24d agoKids lack proper impulse control and sometimes make bad decisions if left unattended. It's preferable if we restrict certain dangerous actions from them. Yes, LLMs can be dangerous for your own health if misused. Yes, I'd be furious if I was 14 and got my Claude access revoked. As others have said in this thread, I'd add that this should primarily be the parents' responsibility since they know their child best.
- BeFlatXIII 24d agoTreating children and teenagers as the same group is out of control.
