"My son lit up the moment he realized we were going to try to make a real game. I started by showing him the tool. I opened the app and explained it simply: It could take what he said and turn it into something on the computer."
"At one point, he asked with complete sincerity, 'Humans think faster, right mama?' I laughed, as it was apparent to me at that moment that, in contrast to engineers appreciating how much AI accelerates work, a child doesn't yet have the context of how much sophisticated reasoning or complex computations are being performed."
"A few minutes later, it was done. Codex had generated a browser game, but not quite the way he'd imagined. I told him we could go back and ask Codex to fix it."
"His next prompt was more specific: 'I want names of specific characters. And I want the characters to jump up and collect coins as it goes.' My role throughout was pretty supportive."
A child expressed a desire to create a game, leading to the use of OpenAI's Codex app for voice-based coding. The child sketched ideas and engaged with the tool, prompting it to generate a browser game. Initial results were not as expected, prompting further refinement through specific requests. The experience highlighted the contrast between a child's understanding of AI's capabilities and the technical appreciation of engineers, showcasing the potential for young creators to engage with technology creatively.
