Honestly, I think they pose a far bigger risk to some adults. Adult's have a harder time making friends, in changing themselves when stuck in a loop, and loneliness is growing exponentially in big cities.

Of course children are children, and adults are responsible for their own choices.

Btw, I like generative AI and LLMs, I'm not trying to say "ban it" or "regulate it", just pointing out that lonely adults are a very real thing, and some of them can and will get stuck in this, the same way they can and do get stuck in other online hobbies.
