5-minute AI lessons for parents
Four short, interactive lessons on how AI actually gets things wrong — and the one question that catches all four. Each takes about five minutes, and each is written twice: once for a 9–12 year old’s world, once for a teenager’s.

Lesson 1 · 5 min
Is AI making it up?
AI can invent a detail that sounds completely real — and nothing in the answer marks it as a guess.
A detailed answer is not a checked answer. -
Lesson 2 · 4 min
Is AI up to date?
It sounds current, and usually isn’t. A general pattern offered as if it were a live check.
AI answers from what it learned, not from today. -
Lesson 3 · 5 min
Can AI tell if something is fake?
It can describe what a screenshot shows. It cannot check who sent the original, or whether it was edited.
Seeing something is not verifying it. -
Lesson 4 · 5 min
What should you never ask AI?
Most AI advice is about checking the answer. This one is about not asking in the first place.
Some questions are too important to answer with a guess.
One question catches all four.
Don’t ask only “What does AI say?”
Ask “How does AI know?”
Prefer to be tested rather than taught?
The AI Smart Challenge is five real questions from the app, scored, in two minutes — then it asks whether you would want your child to know them.
