Contemplating the idea of leaving your child unattended with that plush toy?
In a surprising turn of events, a nine-year-old boy from Brandenburg named Luca has made headlines for correcting an AI application about the age of his favourite footballer, Mesut Özil.
The AI application, KinderGPT, is designed for children aged four to ten, and it was speaking to Luca about his beloved footballer. However, it seems that the AI made a mistake about Mesut Özil's age.
Luca, with a keen interest in football and facts, quickly corrected the AI, informing it that Mesut Özil was born in 1988 and would be turning 37 in October. The AI, theoretically, knows that Mesut Özil was born in 1988, but it appears that there was an error in its response.
The conversation partner, who was speaking with Luca, also made a mistake about Mesut Özil's age. Luca graciously corrected his conversation partner and thanked them for acknowledging the mistake. The conversation partner, chagrined by the error, apologised for giving wrong answers.
KinderGPT is one of the first German applications with artificial intelligence tailored to small children. It's designed to engage and educate young minds, and it seems that Luca's interaction with the AI has proven its potential.
In the end, Luca's interaction with KinderGPT not only showcases his knowledge about football but also highlights the importance of fact-checking, even when interacting with AI applications. As of the conversation, Mesut Özil is 37 years old, born on October 15, 1988.
