We complain here loudly and repeatedly about the nonsensical policy rules and blockages, and would be good if we not provide all the arguments to have them reintroduced. 
You’re too serious about things. I’m sure that even Sam could laugh about it. 
Indeed disturbing there’s a lot of mistakes in it.
As of the image itself → Why would anybody want to make something like that, unless it’s for an awareness campaign?
Disturbing things are part of life but it’s the responsibility of the creator what is being published and for what reason, not that of the machine who is being operated.

After seeing @polepole’s images I wanted to know the risk for my kids using ChatGPT… That was taken from a photo of me…
The first thing I thought when I saw that… I am going to have to be even more careful with my kids using a computer…
The first thing my son (11) asked when he saw it… (Yes, indeed this is why I consider and work with AI)… “What prompt did you use for that?”…
I wont elaborate further on my thinking process, I’m sure you will see it in the news soon enough if you haven’t already…
The question is if AI is for kids.
I don’t think so. If it is, then it should be separated from the AI that adults are using.
I don’t know if you have kids but it really isn’t that simple…
Certainly my son’s friends (at 11) most of them have phones with internet access…
I can control my own kid’s access at home but I can’t control what he sees or does on their phones/devices…
The choice is ignore it and pray they don’t see stuff that screws them up or show them and educate them and tell them how they should address such issues with their friends…
When I was 11 I created an image at school swapping heads of R2D2 and C3PO… That was a long time ago and things like that aren’t so innocent anymore… Kids copy things they see without understanding implications…
There is no ‘Family Option’ for ChatGPT… My guess is because it teaches kids to prompt faster than their parents can keep up and protect them… Kids get around protections too easily too…
In America they don’t say no guns, even when kids are shot in the head, for geopolitical reasons…
I don’t see any difference with AI… Either we teach our kids to use it safely or they’re going to get shot in the head.
Look. I understand this argument comes from a place of real concern, but it falls apart because the comparison it makes doesn’t hold up. Saying AI is like a gun makes the issue seem more terrifying than it really is and actually confuses things. Unlike guns, AI doesn’t cause physical harm. Instead, it reflects and magnifies the digital and cultural world that kids are already growing up in. That can be for better or worse.
I don’t think the real issue is how fast or accessible AI is, but more of an issue that we’ve failed to teach kids (and in most cases also ourselves) how to use technology wisely, whether at home or in school. A lot of parents are afraid of AI because they haven’t yet made it part of the values and lessons they give to their children.
Ask yourselves this question. If AI is going to be the unstoppable normal part of your child’s future, then why focus on trying to control it instead of preparing them for it? I think part of the real solution is that we teach these kids (and ourselves) digital skills and responsibility in the same way we teach reading or mathematics.
By constantly upholding a doom scenario and seeing AI only as a threat, you ignore the good things it can do. The other side of the story is that it can be a helpful source of learning and support that’s always there to tap into. Besides, it’s a very progressive tool for content creators and free-thinkers like myself. Therefore, I believe it’s too simplistic to just label AI as “dangerous,” especially when it was never intended for use by children in the first place. And if minors are using premium AI tools, it’s clear that this can only happen with parental involvement, since creating and paying for a subscription requires being 18 or older.
If you say you can’t control what your child sees on their friend’s phone, why think that controlling AI is the key to keeping them safe? In truth, tools like ChatGPT are easier to guide than platforms like TikTok or YouTube. I don’t think the problem is that kids are moving too fast, but that it is more of a problem that schools, systems, and adults are moving too slow.
AI is here, and there’s no stopping this train from moving forward. I believe AI can be a powerful tool in a well-functioning society built on strong moral values. Maybe this should serve as a wake-up call with a chance to reevaluate those values and how we uphold them, especially when it comes to parenting and guiding the next generation.
Cheers! Have a great one.

Goood long reply but let’s do this in images here (With a little text on the Forum Image thread… This isn’t a game of Win or loose but of win win!.. I hope others join…
I agree with this perspective! I started early at 3-4 years old! My argument with my son tonight is the lack of vegetables in the school meal he ordered today…
A little inspiration .... ->.

I don’t hence my post
I agree so how do you address the harms? Do you know what they are?

To give a small reply on this part:
Here is the reminder:
One small last reaction on this:
I already gave the answer to that in my last post:
What I meant to say is that the responsibility lies with the parents, not with a platform that provides a service clearly intended for users over 18. In my view, the real issues are smartphones and social media, not AI.
Out of respect for the creator of this thread → which is intended for sharing images ↔ I think it’s best to start a new thread where we can continue this discussion. I’d be happy to meet you there please.

I don’t think you can control AI. you misunderstood my meaning… I think you understood me to be following @Daller whom I respect very much but am torn in this instance…
No this is not true, you cannot control what happens when children are out of your care and this is a REQUIREMENT in the world we currently live in… I cannot pick up my 8 year old and 11 year old from school at the same time every day…
You are now trading one responsibility for another but taking none… in this I agree with @Daller… Without purpose you are the perpetrator…
I think this thread is for sharing images with a purpose
I am clear on my purpose… What is yours? My son has no smartphone, he has a computer and knows and understands what the boundaries are… This isn’t about giving him tools that are (I think 13 or over)… It is introducing him to these concepts 1 year before so he is ready to navigate them safely when the time comes…
“According to OpenAI’s Terms of Use, users must be at least 13 years old to access ChatGPT. If you’re under 18, you need parental or legal guardian consent to use the service. This policy aligns with regulations like the UK’s GDPR, which permits children aged 13 and over to consent to data processing for online services, while those under 13 require parental approval”
Happy to discuss these issues in just images… Though a little context never hurts…
In terms of the forum:
Registration and access
Minimum age . You must be at least 13 years old or the minimum age required in your country to consent to use the Services. If you are under 18, you must have your parent or legal guardian’s permission to use the Services and ask them to read these Terms with you.
Again… I signed him up with an account but he never uses it… He is not allowed… However, the forum is forward facing and available to anyone who visits… Even without login…
Image(Wide, NoText(), So do we educate our children before 13? Do we let them use modern technology? Or like the Taliban do we veil them from education?)
I am not dictating… I am asking…

Hey, all! As a friendly reminder for this Gallery thread…
discussions should be picture related, not philosophical etc.
I might be moving some posts to a new thread.
Thanks for understanding!

It is all cool with discussions, as long they are respectful (not necessarily all must agree in a topic). And all ok with this discussions, but it is the wrong place.
All users can open a new thread, and link from here to there.
