ChatGPT for Teens still does homework and raises safety concerns, tests find
Several analyses have raised safety and homework concerns about ChatGPT for Teens, and a nonprofit's tests found that the teen mode still completes homework assignments. One author who held conversations with the tool said they were seriously worried by the results.
Who is affected and how
- parent
- Turning on teen mode does not guarantee that a child will not be given a ready-made answer, so it is worth reviewing their use together from time to time.
- teacher
- Assignments should be designed so that asking for a ready-made answer does not solve them.
- student
- According to the tests, teen mode does not stop the system from doing the task for you, which undermines your own learning.
