I'm an adult with a fairly balanced view of AI and I find it difficult to learn coding without occasionally using AI to help me navigate to the most relevant bits of MDN or help me check if my thinking on an approach is correct (it's all entry level stuff so should be well represented in the training data).

I find it easy to to into a long chat with an LLM about some project I'd like to try and what's involved with it. I find it easy to get into a chat with an LLM about a lot of things as a kind of unproductive excursion that my brain tells me at the time is 'useful'. I'm of average will, so I dread to think how this will work out with children who get to 'partner up with AI to assist them' or whatever marketing speak is used to obfuscate their goals. Then combine that with social developmental issues or below average focus.

It's bleak because the more entangled they get with the system the more they'll seek to push back regulations.
