[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no practical way for a parent to monitor everything said to ChatGPT especially with automatic deletion functions.  Why on earth are we pretending this is a parent issue alone rather than a design flaw.  These gigantically profitable yet dangerous tech companies should be regulated.

Reminds me of Meta approving “sensual” chats with 8 year olds.  Revolting![/quote]

I want to say this could never happen to my kid but my kids get past “parental controls” all the time.  And parental controls, particularly on Apple devices, are so buggy they are practically useless sometimes.  And I think it’s totally by design- these companies have no incentive to prevent kids from using their products 24/7.[/quote]
+100 Speaking from my experience as the parent of a tech savvy teen, most adults on DCUM have no idea what their kids can and do access.  Right "under the nose" of parental controls.  These tech systems are designed around company goals for customer use and profitability.  Which are often in direct opposition to parents' needs.  [/quote]

NP. Also want to add that kids maybe be harboring emotional difficulties or suicidal thoughts while appearing completely upbeat and normal on the outside. We were blindsided by this with our teenage son last year. Literally showed no signs of distress. I can absolutely see how a kid could go down this road without the parents knowing. Really disturbing.[/quote]
