ChatGPT is similar to calculator, you get answers fast, but your brain misses the training step to get better at calculations.
With calculator you are missing only one dimension/parameter of learning -> calculating things in your brain
With ChatGPT kids might lose training many other parameters -> thinking, seeking the knowledge, reasoning about cause and effect, coming up with possible next steps and so on.
