So people demand "AI" sycophancy, refuse to interact w/ *less* sycophantic "AI", & then get increasingly ill-disposed toward interacting w/ other human beings, preferring, again, an "AI" system that is actively locking them into a loop of skills dependency, bias confirmation, & hostility.

SEEMS BAD

My concern is that even if/when the child can observably manage without scaffolds from a cog point of view, withdrawing them can have unintended consequences, eg re the overall ‘demand’ of school, including sensory, emotional etc. I’m thinking specifically about autistic & ADHD children (dx or not)

Wrapping up: it's long been recognised that how mental disorders are explained shapes public and professional attitudes.

Preferred explanatory frameworks for mental disorder are often a matter of taste and trend, with many alternative framings being scientifically compatible.
