The #chatgpt prompt that kids need to use as they learn with AI. People too! #parenting #manager #ai #prompt #dadsoftiktok #dad #education #teachersoftiktok

This is how you help your kids use AI in a way that doesn't make them dumber, but makes them smarter. So yesterday, the CIO of Microsoft Education, Michael Jabbour, was talking about how he's raising his kids, right? This is the evangelist for how AI is shaping education. And he said there's one really important prompt. When asking ChatGPT or anything a question, his kids have to also put in the caveat, or you can put it into the memory or the training if you are working with your kids, or having them practice using this in school or other things, put the cognitive load on me. So I'm in my car this morning with my daughter and we're driving into work and she asked me this question, do oysters or clams, do they bite? And I said, I think so, they open real slow and then if something happens, they close real fast. And she said, how do you know? And I was like, well, let's ask, I don't know anything about it, that's what I've seen. So we asked ChatGPT and I put in the prompt, I said, hey, I'm with my daughter, we're driving to school and she wants to know, why do oysters or clams open up slowly but close real fast? And I said, put the cognitive load on us. And ChatGPT then asked us a clarifying question, being like, hey, we see this happening, what do you think might be one of the reasons why it might do that? And then my daughter said, well, maybe they're trying to protect themselves. And then ChatGPT said, yeah, that's right. And it has a muscle inside that opens and closes and doing it to keep itself safe. And it's like saying, stay away from me when I close real fast. I'm not doing a good job at rehashing it. But the exchange between my daughter and ChatGPT was way different than just getting the answer. So this is something that I think is really meaningful and I think we can incorporate that. I could benefit from it because I'm definitely going to ChatGPT for answer, right? Or I'm using AI to generate things and I'm forgetting my responsibility, my cognitive load that's responsible here in helping think through it and make sense of it. So just try this out. It's a nice way to add a caveat to it, to help your relationship with ChatGPT and AI be smarter and better, whether you're parenting leading teams or you're an organization. How does it help get the best out of you, get you to think differently while also using the technology in a way that feels safe, feels authentic and doesn't just make us dumber.
