The big idea
AI gives you new tools to be kind online. Help write a thoughtful comment on a friend's post. Draft a kind message to a struggling friend. Generate gift ideas. Use AI to amplify kindness.
Some examples
- Write a sincere supportive comment on someone's project.
- Draft a kind apology when you mess up.
- Generate thoughtful gift ideas for friends.
- Help a friend feel less alone with a kind message.
Try it!
Use AI to help you say one kind thing to someone today. Notice how it changes their day.
Practice this safely
Try this with a low-stakes example and a trusted adult nearby. The goal is to notice how AI talks about kindness, not to let it make the decision for you.
- 1Ask AI to explain kindness in plain language, then underline anything that sounds uncertain or too broad.
- 2Give it one detail from "Use AI to Be More Kind Online" and ask for two possible next steps plus one reason each step might be wrong.
- 3Check online behavior against a trusted source, teacher, adult, expert, or original document before you use it.
