This sucks, and has been going on for a while, even before AI has gotten this good. It’s mind-numbing shit. I have no idea why anyone would just plop their kids own in front of YouTube these days.

If I had a kid right now, no fucking way would they be given a smartphone or tablet until at least their 10th birthday. I don’t care how much of a mean old fart our kids would think I am. A kid’s brain development is WAY more of a priority than easy dopamine you get from being the „yes“ dad, social pressures, or even my laziness.

youtube content for kids was awful enough that I think AI slop will be an upgrade

Any parent who sets their kid in front of YouTube or YouTube Kids should have their parental rights revoked.

…We need oversight. I know this isn’t a popular option but we need to treat YouTube as a on-air TV station. The FCC needs to regulate children’s programing and advertisers need to be regulated the exact same way when it comes to those videos made for children.

Of course. The tried and true method of getting people hooked on your product is „start em as early as possible“. It worked with sodas, gambling, and modern consumerism, why wouldn’t they try it with AI slop?
Horrified to see what it looks like when we’re met with a generation of people that are brainwashed on this stuff though…

This wouldn’t be a problem if parents actually raised their own kids
