My 11-year-old son used AI to build his own video game — I see it as a creativity boost, not a threat
- An 11-year-old with ADHD and dyslexia used Copilot to research schoolwork and then, in about four days of an hour or two a day, built his own video game inspired by a book.
- He loves that AI never gets frustrated, can simplify explanations or speak via voice, and lets him be creative without knowing how to code.
- Mom says AI amplified his creativity but raises concerns about accuracy, online exposure and parental controls—and argues schools should teach kids how to use AI.
