ai is not the proper way to explore the world for kids

some might argue it is - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Diamond_Age

I enjoyed The Diamond Age but the 'AI' is nothing like today's. The stories in Nell's primer are actually mediated by a human actor (not an AI), who becomes a mother figure for her.
