Do as I say, not as I do. Teaching children that there are different expectations for different purposes and people is exactly what should be done.
Why do children wear uniforms whilst the teacher wears office clothing? Why do parents go to bed later than children? Why do some jobs pay more or less? Saying that children are impressionable and making learning equivalent to a teaching resource is more than an over simplification and exactly the kind of assinine comment parents throw at teachers that just make life harder. If, as it like is, AI, all they've done is make it more visually appealing and child friendly than what might otherwise appear to be a miserable threat.
“Do as I say, not as I do” is supposed to be used to highlight hypocrisy. Not taken as a literal benchmark. Teaching kids that there are different expectations for different parties is exactly what not should be done.

Kids are impressionable though, and you should lead by example.
"Kids remember don't use AI, what, me? I can use AI because... because, well, we're not the same I'm the teacher"
