Age group
Topic
“What's something you're really good at that a robot probably couldn't do?”
Parent note: Builds identity around human strengths early.
“If AI can already do your dream job better than most people, does that change what you want to become — or how you want to get there?”
Parent note: Heavy but honest. Most teens are quietly wrestling with this. Naming it out loud is a relief.
“If you were upset about something, would you rather talk to AI or a person? Why?”
