As a parent of young children in the age of #generativeai, I've spent a lot of time thinking about the impact that #ai will have on our kids, the future of work, and the role of education in this. No one can really predict what will happen, but the research all seems pretty clear - there will be a huge impact. So, how do we prepare our kids? My kids are 7 and 9, and to me it seems the right place and the right time to engage with them on AI. When I first raised #artificialintelligence to my son, he told me that he did not want to use it because he thought it sounded like cheating. So we picked that apart, and worked through the value of "right tool, right job," and I dug into not mindlessly using AI to generate answers, but instead thinking about what good would look like and to use AI to help him process his own thoughts on what he wanted to achieve and why. LONG story short - I started up a new version of story time with the kids, called "Puppet Show." We took their 'lovies (stuffed animals)', developed basic characters for them, and started generating new episodes that we act out before bed each night. This turned into character images, movie posters, , and many iterations. What did I achieve? 1) quality time with the kids, 2) a love for generative ai that is healthy, 3) each episode runs, we act it, then I ask them what they would change and why, and then we give the feedback to ChatGPT and generate a new episode and act that out, 4) they see the prompt engineering first-hand, each night, and start to understand why it is structured, what is included, how it will influence the output. For children as young as mine, they already see the world totally differently. Something that would have taken specialized education and months of work just 12 months ago I can do on the floor of my kid's room from my iPhone in about 20 min. The kids come up with the plot, the characters, the names, the adventures. My daughter took her "movie poster" to school for "show and tell." It's not about a perfect result. It's about seeing the world differently and being ready for what Generative AI will mean for the future of work. Here is the raw (unedited) prompt/thread from #ChatGPT if you're interested: https://lnkd.in/gnPnyefF
I am almost 100% sure that it will be Entertainment that brings #AI to the masses…even before Healthcare. Great post Daniel Englebretson - in fact, a really wonderful story.
Love this example!
GREAT post! I love it! My teenage kids had the same initial reaction to AI.
What great Dads! Great job, Daniel. Thank you for sharing. Our responsibility is truly important to empower them with context and understanding.
This is so cool, Daniel Englebretson! Thanks for sharing.
Coming up with bedtime stories on the spot, after several years is quite the daunting task. I've used ChatGPT for almost a year now to help with creating new stories. We used it as more of a mad libs style. I ask my daughter (also 7 years old) for a hero, a villain, a setting, and an objective/challenge. Sometimes it's her friends/family, sometimes it's her pets, or sometimes it's also her stuffed animals like this. The stories have gotten better and better, to where she now specifically requests ChatGPT stories, because she gets to contribute. And they're a perfect short 5 min story every time.
