If you're unsure how to configure ChatGPT for your teen, these are my recommendations based on my experience reporting on OpenAI and ChatGPT for Teens.

Golin identified memory as one of "the most attachment-driving design features" of ChatGPT.

Uncanny and unappetizing: appetites spoil as AI images take over food menus
D uring a recent lunch break, Jill Sennett saw something so unappetizing she had to share it with her 26,000 X followers: Artificial intelligence-generated menu images from a Jamaican barbecue pop-up restaurant in which the meats looked like leather belts crawling with tiny beetles.

"I think it's a bad cultural thing that restaurants are converting to these horrific, uncanny food images that are unappetizing." Still, Sennett ordered chicken and macaroni and cheese.
