The longer story
Specific tools will change many times over before your child enters the workforce, so learning today's chatbot in depth is a poor investment. The durable skills are the ones that make someone a good user of any tool: writing clearly enough to ask a precise question, checking a claim against a reliable source, noticing when an answer sounds plausible but is unsupported, and recognising when a task genuinely needs a person. Curiosity about how these systems work helps too, and none of it requires coding. Strong reading, reasoning and communication remain the foundation, because they are what allow anyone to judge whether an AI output is any good.
