Short transcript excerpt in which the speaker describes a personal anecdote about a nine-year-old using ChatGPT/OpenAI tools to build a custom GPT that generates pangrammatic sentences (contains every English letter) on arbitrary themes, arguing this demonstrates how AI will change education and rewire children's thinking.

Education is going to change in a big way. Watching my son who got to dog food a bunch of the OpenAI stuff before it was public. He was nine at the time. He was prompting ChatGPT with some really crazy things that I never even thought of. And one of the things was, hey chatgpt, can you give me a sentence that has every letter in the Alphabet along the theme of oceans or along the theme of space? The reason this blew my mind is because in traditional programming you couldn't write that program. But he built a custom GPT that you can type in any topic and it would give you a sentence that had every letter of the English Alphabet. Isn't that mind blowing? At age 9, he could think about that. I can already see his brain rewiring.
