“Don’t believe it, AI is really a magical tool for bringing a baby!& rdquo;
On February 17, on the first day of school, this year’s Brother Yang sent his mythical beast back to his hometown, feeling particularly refreshed.
Every winter vacation, Brother Yang not only has to upgrade and fight monsters in the company, but also has to swipe copies with the naughty child when he gets home. At one time he was very anxious and lamented, who can save me?” rdquo;
But this year, with AI, a new baby-carrying artifact, he has greatly released himself, and even has his own drama time after work.
On the one hand, children not only like to chat with AI, learn poetry, and play debate competitions; on the other hand, AI can also help divine beasts do homework, becoming a new tool for timely delivery of homework in addition to traditional methods such as family collaboration groups and trusteeship classes. Before school started,#deepseek to catch up with homework #was once on hot searches.
However, although AI is good, it is also necessary to prevent addiction.
For example, while enjoying the dividends, some parents also expressed concerns that due to excessive reliance on AI, children would lose their ability to learn and think on themselves.
More parents are worried that if the big model relaxes content and introduces adult content, etc., they will worry that their children will go astray. rdquo;
The fact that cannot be ignored is that for the market, the popularity of AI is unstoppable, but for the big market of young people, businesses may need to consider far more than other markets.
Cyberparents are keen on AI taking care of their children”
During this winter vacation, Brother Yang deeply experienced what AI means to bring children.
As a super dad, Brother Yang has a group of children around him. Under his friends ‘Amway, he began to teach his children to learn using AI.
In fact, every winter and summer vacations, the teacher would tell Brother Yang that he had the conditions to prepare the new semester’s textbooks in advance and preview the texts in advance.
This year, Brother Yang began to use AI to solve the problem.
Open the AI and open the second volume of the Chinese textbook for the fourth grade of the People’s Education Edition with voice input. Please help sort out the general meaning of the article in the first lesson and the theme. Soon, the AI will give a brief introduction to the article, the theme, and even knowledge points and test points.
This is simply too convenient for Brother Yang. In the past, after working, I still needed to spend a lot of time studying with my children. With AI, it saved me too much time.& rdquo;
It is worth mentioning that Brother Yang’s children like to learn from AI very much. When encountering homework that they can’t write, they also ask for help from AI. It seems that they are learning happily. Brother Yang said that since his children learned AI, he no longer has to serve as a tutor, and he also has time to do his own thing after work. rdquo;
After DeepSeeK became popular, Orange Bao’s mother in Beijing also arranged AI for her daughter.
When talking about why primary school students are exposed to AI, Ju Baoma said that first, she is worried that children cannot keep up with the trend of the times and cannot appreciate the changes of the times; second, she is a technology person and has been dealing with code and machines for a long time, and has experienced firsthand the power of AI.
After following the advice of an education blogger, Jubao Mom began to try using DeepSeeK. She downloaded the English word list for the new semester from the Internet, opened DeepSeeK, uploaded pictures, and sent reminders, and DeepSeeK transformed into a tutor to explain the words; she sent reminders again and used the existing words to write a children’s science fiction composition of less than 500 words. DeepSeeK can also complete it quickly.
“It is efficient, fast, and mainly interested by children.& rdquo; Ju Bao’s mother lamented that she used to learn English at home but was forced to do so. Maybe my method is not good. Moreover, some content is boring even to me, and children are even less interested.& rdquo;
Jubao Ma found that after teaching her daughter to use AI, the child would spontaneously and proactively interact with the AI, and perform 100,000 whys every day, and the AI would not get impatient. Jubao’s mother was secretly happy that AI functions are so powerful and emotionally stable. Can I end my career studying with my child?” rdquo;
On social platforms, AI taking care of children has also become the most hotly discussed matter among parents. In Xiaohongshu, there are more than 50,000 notes about AI bringing babies; in Douyin, there are more than 930,000 views on the topic of AI bringing babies.

Some netizens call AI bringing babies as cyber parenting. Not only do some netizens use AI to bring babies, but some netizens also use AI to generate plans for bringing babies during winter vacation to achieve freedom in bringing babies. In the eyes of many netizens, AI is simply a proper tool for bringing babies. Artifact.
“It is worthy of being AI taking care of a baby. Exercise, diet and psychological counseling are all available. AI is too advanced, which opens up new ideas for me taking care of a baby… Similar comments can be seen everywhere on social platforms.
On social platforms, a sixth-grade elementary school student blogger posted a debate match with AI, which caused heated discussion.
The blogger is reading in sixth grade primary school and publishes related content using AI to learn on a social platform, with more than 40,000 fans. In the comment area, many parents left messages saying that AI learning is too strong, and I also want my children to learn AI”……
Be careful of children addicted to AI”
However, despite the many advantages of AI, there are still many parents crying that AI takes care of children!& rdquo;
“Unexpectedly, I taught my child to use AI to facilitate learning, and now it has become a tool for him to copy homework!& rdquo;
Ms. Yang from Hebei Province told “Handset Tech” that as the school started, she was checking her children’s homework and found that the composition of children who had always been average in writing was so valuable and smooth this winter vacation.
“At a glance, it can be written by AI.& rdquo; Without thinking too much, Ms. Yang came to this conclusion.
In this regard, Ms. Yang has a very mixed feeling. AI is indeed a good tool. When children encounter difficulties, they can provide ideas and inspiration. But I am worried that directly copying AI content will cause children to lose their understanding of words and their ability to write. rdquo;
In Ms. Yang’s view, when children become accustomed to acquiring knowledge from AI, they are likely to develop a heavy sense of dependence, develop laziness in thinking, and eventually lose the ability to think independently.

Obviously, Ms. Yang is not the only one who is anxious.
Especially now that the school is beginning, there are media reports that the way this year’s winter vacation homework is very different from previous years. Many primary and secondary school students are addicted to AI and are using AI to catch up with homework.
In the past few days, DeepSeek has become a tool for rushing homework, and the first batch of primary school students who use DeepSeek to rush homework have become hot topics one after another. In order to hand in homework on time, anxious parents teamed up with awakened children to stage a winter vacation homework AI rush movie.
However, some netizens commented enthusiastically, what’s the point of dealing with it? If you lie around, you will still lie to yourself. To be honest, you still have to think about some things yourself, otherwise you will be empty and you will not be able to take the exam.” rdquo;
A teacher in Hangzhou said that some of the winter vacation homework such as writing compositions, doing math problems, and sorting out practical experiences did come from DeepSeek and can be recognized at a glance. rdquo;
Essays written by AI are generally clear in structure, strict in logic, and very advanced in terms of words, but at first glance they are fake. The above-mentioned teacher bluntly said that I am quite familiar with the writing level of my classmates in my class. It is unlikely that a student’s structure and writing style will make such a huge breakthrough in one winter vacation. rdquo;
AI writes homework, and there are some things that make people laugh and cry.
Teacher Guo is an in-service mathematics teacher. He admitted to “Handset Tech” that the quality of AI generated content depends on the training data and is likely to contain erroneous information and easily mislead students.
Teacher Guo said that he had received a complaint from a student. When a classmate was doing a math problem, he asked AI, but the answer he gave was different from AI. After some research, he discovered that AI had used the relevant theorem incorrectly. Seeing that AI made mistakes, the child said that he was still reliable. rdquo;
In fact, in some places, students ‘understanding and use of AI have become relatively common, especially during this winter vacation, which has set off a new round of discussion. Next, how to use AI has become a topic worth discussing on the entire network. matter.
In addition to AI dependence, more concerns are that AI cannot replace the emotional depth in real interpersonal interactions. Long-term reliance on machine companionship may lead to a decline in children’s empathy and even social barriers.
Previously, psychological research has shown that children who overuse AI tools score lower than the control group in teamwork tests. In addition, standardized feedback models are indeed likely to inhibit children’s creative thinking. For example, the preset templates of AI painting tools restrict children’s artistic expression to a certain extent.
Safety issues are also a concern for parents. Ms. Yang admitted that children have a poor awareness of prevention, and in the process of communicating with AI, some private information will also be delivered to AI. In addition, are there any hidden dangers in the use of various Face Recognition functions?& rdquo;
“Is AI taking care of children good business?
However, despite the controversy surrounding AI bringing babies, it is still a good business from the market’s perspective.
Relevant data shows that in 2025, the global AI parenting market is expected to exceed US$50 billion, with a compound annual growth rate of 35%. As the largest single market, China contributes more than 40% of its share.
In fact, in the past two years, the domestic AI education market has grown rapidly. Data from the China Research Institute of Puhua Industrial Research shows that it is expected that the size of China’s AI education market will exceed 799.3 billion yuan in 2024, showing huge market potential and growth space.
In 2024, AI technology will be increasingly widely used in the field of education, covering core aspects of education such as lesson preparation, teaching, exercises, examinations, evaluation, and management.
For example, the Monkey Counseling Group has launched a full range of AI products such as educational intelligent hardware Little Monkey Learning Machine and educational AI application Little Monkey Mouth Math. After the release of DeepSeek, related educational technology companies such as ape tutoring and learning and thinking are competing to access it.
In fact, in the process of education, more and more teachers are also trying to use AI.
Teacher Guo admitted that starting from the second half of 2024, he will teach students how to use AI in their spare time. During the education process, he will also use AI to prepare lessons and review test papers. After school started in the spring of 2025, he even connected an AI chat robot during the teaching process to enhance the fun of teaching.
Teacher Guo believes that with the popularization of AI, AI will enter the education market deeply and will be unstoppable. In Teacher Guo’s view, with the continuous advancement of AI technology, the application of educational scenarios will become more extensive and in-depth, promoting the digital transformation and upgrading of the education industry. rdquo;
However, Teacher Guo admitted that in the process of educational practice, some difficult problems are often encountered. For example, AI cannot solve students ‘personalized problems, and sometimes, AI does make mistakes. rdquo;
Of course, although it is still in the preliminary trial stage, this field is still a huge market for the market, and merchants are determined to win it.
Kobayashi, another employee in an education company, told “Handset Tech” bluntly. In fact, since 2024, his company has increased its investment in AI. He said that whether it is AI education or AI taking care of children, With the popularization of AI, it will be a huge market in the future, and no one wants to miss it. rdquo;
Of course, Xiaolin admitted that at present, this billion-level blue ocean also tests the company’s sense of technical responsibility and social insight.
Ms. Yang also expressed the hope that during the market development process, companies will look more from the perspective of parents and launch functions that are more in line with the youth application market. For example, like games, merchants will launch AI anti-addiction systems. rdquo;
In Xiaolin’s view, AI’s role in bringing children is essentially the impact and reconstruction of technological progress on traditional parenting models and education models. In the process of development, there must be games, with advantages and disadvantages. The advantages lie in improving efficiency and expanding knowledge boundaries., and the disadvantages lie in emotional alienation and ethical risks. rdquo;
“Only by finding a balance between efficiency and temperature, innovation and ethics, can AI lead children truly become a positive force to help the growth of the next generation, rather than a cold technical experiment. rdquo; This is obviously not just Xiaolin’s view, but also what many parents hope.
