Helping others.
WHAT TO TEACH FIRST
It sounds confident whether or not it is right It does not know current things unless it searches It should never be believed about health, money or legal matters without checking It is not a person
FOR OLDER RELATIVES
Focus on the fraud risk. Voice cloning and convincing messages are the practical danger.
Agree a verification method: a call back on a known number, or a family question.
FOR CHILDREN
That schoolwork must be their own That it can be wrong That it is not a friend
FOR ANYONE
Never enter passwords, bank details or identification numbers.
WHAT TO SET UP
Their own account, not shared A device lock Awareness of what the history contains
THE MOST USEFUL DEMONSTRATION
Ask it something they know well. Let them see it get something wrong.
That teaches scepticism better than any warning.
WHAT NOT TO DO
Discourage use entirely. It is genuinely useful, particularly for people who find writing or reading difficult.
