This paper presents a hopeful perspective on the potentially dramatic impacts of Large Language Models on how we children learn and how they will expect to interact with technology. We review the effects of LLMs on education so far, and make the case that these effects are minor compared to the upcoming changes that are occurring. We present a small scenario and self-ethnographic study demonstrating the effects of these changes, and define five significant considerations that interactive systems designers will have to accommodate in the future.

Why it matters

The effects of Large Language Models on education so far are minor compared to upcoming changes. These shifts could have dramatic impacts on how children learn and how they will expect to interact with technology.

Key findings
  • For children, large language models may dramatically impact how they learn and how they expect to interact with technology.
  • Current educational impacts of large language models are minor compared to upcoming changes occurring with these tools.
  • Five significant considerations will need to be accommodated by interactive systems designers in the future.
