If computer usage hampers a child's socialization with the group he's learning with, maybe the simplest and most meaningful solution would be preventing children enrolled in language comprehension classes from having access to computers at home particularly at core language and reasoning stages in development.

We dont align our current actions with AGI. Rather, we align our actions with a presumption of what we think AGI is to become (assuming some inevitability).
Some people believe AGI is imminent, others believe AGI is here now. Observe their behavior, calm your anticipation, and satisfy your curiosoty rather than seeking to confirm a bias on the matter.
The tech is new in my experience and accepting claims beyond my capacity to validate such a grand assertion would require me to take on faith the word of someone I don't know or have never seen, who likely generated such a query in the first place outside the context length of Chatgpt mini.

When I was 7, my family's Japanese foreign exchange student was being introduced to me.
She bursted out laughing saying my nick name Dev Dev sounded like "fart fart" or "fat fart".
Had the nickname fart fart until my sister moved out of the house.
Maybe you could confirm, but ChatGPT tells me in Japanese Debu colloquially and offensively means "fat" or "chubby", and Bu is an onomotapoeia for a fart noise, like "prrt" in English.

A lot of people apparently have similar self-beliefs. Recognize these are beliefs. Identify and map out your current belief system so that you can analyze it for what it is. That's what you have to do when you are uncertain, is map things out. When you develop more self awareness you can choose different belief systems, like in the matrix.
