A thing I've been thinking about, as someone who has a 9 and a 7 year old daughter: what does this look like to them? Kids already in college now are in an odd place, sort of the opposite of where college kids were 25 years ago, when suddenly we had access to massive amounts of knowledge that was true: they've been using a computer as a source of truth (wikipedia) for most of their lives, and suddenly they have a computer telling them things that are true ~75% of the time, but they still trust it, because computers have been a source of truth their whole life.

For my daughters, AI is anathema. Granted, their teachers are trying to expose them to it, a little, but anything that seems weird, or janky, or false: "That's AI." But they're going to be growing up as the first generation where "the computer told me X" isn't going to immediately mean that X is true. I don't know what that leads to. I do know that I've been reminding them as often as possible is that the point of homework is for them to learn, not to get the right answer.
