WorkBuddy isn't for thinking on behalf of your kids; it's for handling my chores.
This morning, after dropping off Duoduo, I saw a mom in our group chat share a push notification from CommonWealth Magazine about a Brookings Institution report stating that the risks of AI to children's education currently outweigh the benefits. I skimmed through it, and several keywords really stood out: cognitive offloading, cognitive atrophy, and AI sycophancy. Reading it made me gasp, but then I realized the report is essentially sounding an alarm for parents, not telling them to dismiss AI entirely. I actually agree with the action list provided in the report, especially the principle of "human first, machine second": children must write their own outlines or drafts first, and only then use AI for polishing or checking. This aligns almost perfectly with my experience using WorkBuddy.
