Und ich bin Emily Weinstein. Ich bin Psychologin und langer Forscherin, die Teen-Technologie studiert. Und ich habe das Center for Digital Thriving gegründet.
There was something that felt very familiar about the way that schools and parents were asking questions about ChatGPT and kind of rushing to figure out what policies would help ban it. And I think this is a really imperfect comparison for a lot of reasons, but it reminded me a lot of the early days of Wikipedia. Wow.
Where, I don't know if you were in school when, I don't know if Wikipedia was part of your trajectory. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was, yes. Anyway, it felt like the early conversation around Gen AI, sort of like that early Wikipedia conversation of like, don't go there, that is bad. We need to figure out how to make sure that no one even looks at that.
And we're hearing teens say things like, you know, my parents have blocked chat GPT from our Wi-Fi in our house because they're so scared of me looking at it.
Did you try and do that, PJ?
Ich denke, für einen guten Grund, weil natürlich ChatGPT komplett anders ist als Wikipedia in Bezug auf die Implikationen für unser Denken. Aber ich denke, dass dieser Impuls, das Ding aufzuhalten, während wir es herausfinden, so weit verbreitet ist. Eltern in 2022, 2023 und immer noch fühlen, als ob sie immer noch versuchen, ihre Hände um die Telefone und Social Media zu wenden.
And those issues feel so front of mind that I think that a lot of people, a lot of adults feel like, what? Like, I don't want them to cheat on Gen AI, but also like, I still don't understand TikTok. I haven't figured out Snapchat.
If you imagine like the pie chart of parents' concerns and then the slice of it that is tech and then the amount of that slice that is currently being still taken up by social media and mobile phones, I think there's just frankly not a lot of time left and people don't even really know what questions to ask.
Okay, also was schauen wir jetzt? Okay, so this is a Miro Board. It's basically a, Beck, how do I describe this?
Okay, a digital whiteboard. And what we did was we, so Beck mapped out these five different kinds of school assignments.
Ja, sie sind überall. Aber eine der wirklich interessanten Bedeutungen davon ist, dass du tatsächlich siehst, dass Kinder, die wirklich ihr Bestes tun, um einen Entscheidungsruf zu machen, wirklich verschiedene Entscheidungen haben, was okay ist und was nicht okay ist, wenn es um die Anwendung von AI geht.
We were just doing this listening session that was actually what sparked the direction that we've been iterating in. And we were talking to teens about how AI is coming up in their lives. Und einer der Teenager sagte, du weißt, ich benutze es nicht so viel, aber ich erzähle dir eine wirklich coole Geschichte.
Mein Vater hat mir gerade erzählt, wie sein Freund eine Geburtstagskarte für seine Frau geschrieben hat. Und er hat AI benutzt, um herauszufinden, was er in der Geburtstagskarte schreiben soll. Und dann hat er die Geburtstagskarte seiner Frau gegeben und es war so schön, dass sie weinte. Sie sagte, es war die beste Karte, die er je geschrieben hat. Und er sagt, ist das nicht unglaublich?
I was like, wait, tell me more. And so I'm like, tell me more about your reaction. He's like, well, he made his wife so happy. It was like the best card he had ever written. And it's me and I'm in a conversation with a group of teens. And a few of the others start agreeing, like, that's really cool. And so I said...
Wait, I want to talk about this because I actually have a really different reaction to that experience and I want to understand more about how you think about it. My reaction is not, oh, that's so great. I feel sort of like if my husband gave me a card that was written by AI and I didn't know it was written by AI and I cried, I would feel kind of betrayed or lied to. And we start unpacking that.
And interestingly, one of the teens says to me, well, why is that? Like if your husband wrote a card with AI, he's still trying to do something nice for you. And isn't the intention what matters? Like if he brings you flowers from a flower store, He didn't grow the flowers or pick them. And you still think it's really nice. So isn't that kind of like what's happening here?
And I was like, huh, interesting.
Sie fühlten sich wirklich auf diese Diskussion konzentriert, auf die Idee, dass wenn das Ergebnis war, dass die Person gute Gefühle hatte, dann war der Nutzung gut. Und wenn das Ergebnis war, dass die Person Gefühle verletzt hatte, dann war der Nutzung schlecht. Vielleicht war das anekdotal. Vielleicht waren es nur die Teenager, die in dieser Gruppe waren. Vielleicht war es developmental.
Vielleicht war es generational.
Ich möchte nur sagen, dass ich meine Cousins in den Palästinensischen Feuerhausen verloren habe. Ich habe also viel über Dinge nachgedacht. Und als Resultat habe ich einen Teil meines Wochenends mit dem Digitalisieren von Lettern, die ich von meinem Großvater überlebt habe, verwendet. Und ich hatte über 35 handgeschriebene Schriften und Schriften, die er geschrieben hatte.
