5 AI experiments for a curious 10-year-old

A 10-year-old does not need a keynote on 'the future of work.' They need to see a model fail in a way they can describe. These five setups take minutes, need no API keys, and work in WonderMind's Prompt Lab or any chat you already supervise.

1) Same question, two temperatures or two 'be creative' vs 'be precise' instructions — compare hedges. 2) Ask for a book that does not exist, then ask for a real one you are holding. 3) Give a riddle with a hidden assumption and watch the confident miss. 4) Paste a paragraph you wrote and ask the model to 'improve' it; keep a copy and decide what actually got better. 5) Ask for tomorrow's local weather without a tool, then check a real forecast. Write one sentence after each: what the model is good at, and what it faked.

Do these with a grown-up nearby. Do not paste classmates' names, addresses, or photos. If the model says something unkind, that is data for the lesson, not a dare to push further. WonderMind learners can tap Need a grown-up? instead of arguing with the Guide.

Five dated notes in WonderVault beat a perfect worksheet. The skill is noticing, not collecting screenshots of the model sounding smart.
