I would take that advice with caution. LLM's are not oracles of absolute truth. They often hallucinate and omit important pieces of information.

Like any powerful tool, it can be dangerous in the unskilled hands.

It might be worth getting up in front of the kids in middle school + and saying "Hey you're in competition at a global scale here. You're going to have to work your butts off to stay relevant."

The issue is that the surrounding infrastructures would need to be much more competent than they currently are in education. I worked at an educational institution in the IT department, and the level of knowledge the IT staff had was abysmal. It was surprising that anything worked at all.

Additionally, not everything needs to be gamified. Somehow this notion that everything a child interacts with on a computer has to mimic a video game is a really narrow way of thinking. Instead, we could start with basic computer usage skills such as file management, and system configuration, and using core tools such as word processes and image manipulation software.

Instead of dumping kids into the world of Google which is a for-profit mechanism that is inherently designed to get people to click on stuff as much as possible, we actually as software developers need to re-think EdTech and have it be learning first.

Today people expect, because they have been sold the idea that computers should do everything from drawing for them to fulfilling their social needs as a human.

I think it's time to step back and really think about what the role of computers should be and how we as humans use computers.

I remember when using the Internet and digital media were in their early stages. Compared to today there was a very small segment of the population doing those things. You were underground if you were playing video games on the Internet.

Most computers lived in offices doing what they did best: office work.

Maybe we've gone too far in the wrong direction.

"Let's do wind turbines to generate clean electricity!"

The wind turbine manufacturing and decommissioning processes are hugely inefficient, not to mention the negative impacts wind turbines have during their operational period. Regardless of these findings large areas of land in North America and Europe are littered with wind turbines. Oh while we're at it lets shut down all the nuclear power plants because we're scared of them.

"Hey, this whole green energy thing has been a total disaster. Regardless, let's start setting arbitrary deadlines on which we want to eliminate gas powered cars and replace them with electric cars that rely on our disastrous green energy rollout!"

The push to widespread electric car usage is ignoring major infrastructure short comings in many places where the push is happening.

It's almost like the people in charge of this stuff are a bunch of idealistic nitwits who are risking plunging us into the dark ages.
