🎮 AI and Your Hobbies
Use AI to go deeper on something you already love.
🔥 Warm Up — 2 minutes
What is the one thing you know more about than most adults? Sport, game, animal, music, craft — anything.
"We explore this topic with AI. And because you know it well — you are the expert, not the AI."
🤖 The Activity — 15 minutes
Your child is the expert. AI is the research assistant. Child evaluates every answer.
Child rates each fact: ✅ correct · ❌ wrong · 🤔 not sure. Keep score on paper.
This is where AI often gets niche details wrong. Full expert mode.
AI expanding from what you know into adjacent areas — one of its genuine strengths.
🧩 The Twist — 5 minutes
Ask: if AI had not told you — would you have believed it? This builds healthy scepticism even on topics they know well.
Today proved this directly. The habit: every time AI states a specific fact, ask how would I check that? On topics they know well — they are the checker.

▼Domain expertise as an evaluation tool. Children who realise they know more than AI in their areas gain genuine confidence.
- How many facts did AI get wrong about your topic?
- Did AI tell you anything genuinely new?
- If someone without your knowledge read this answer — what could go wrong?
Watch for frustration if AI gets many things wrong. Reframe: that means they know more than AI does.
Low safety risk — topic is child-chosen. Ensure no personal details crept in.
