So many parents are content to shove an iPad full of AI slop into their kids hands, we are doomed I fear lol

Not just AI slop. There are a lot of garbage content creators out there. Feels bad for parents who don’t have the time or the information to prevent their children from accessing these garbage.

Sure they are garbage, but so is like 75% of man made young children’s content. Paw patrol, coco melon, etc… just flashy brain rot. And if they are using “grab a hot pan…” as a negative, cartoons have been doing that kind of thing for decades.

This is not new, have you seen the trash Netflix has.
Let’s just say there’s many confusing videos trying to erase science and biology for “feelings”…

I strongly recommend watching Vinesauce’s mobile ads segments. That shit is being served to children by the same people who ban you for saying „fuck“ or playing 3 seconds of copyrighted music.

Babies shouldn’t be watching TV at all. Any screen time under 2 years old is harmful. Screen time 2 to 5 years old should be very limited. Only occasional and high quality non-scary shows like Bluey.

*“AI slop videos are garbage”*
I think I am paddling up a raging river here, but I go out of my way to block profiles using anything AI in my reels or social media accounts.
I know it’s fruitless, but if millions of people did the same, maybe it would make a dent?

Fairplay are the Bell Media backed assholes who were trying to usher in a massive site blocking regime, so that Bell could maximize its profits. They don’t care about anyone other than the shareholders.
> which calls on Google and YouTube to make changes, like clearly labelling all AI-generated content and prohibiting AI-generated content on YouTube Kids.
YouTube Kids is made specifically for and marketed towards young kids. If you want to address „harms“ without attacking privacy rights, targeting products like YouTube Kids would be a good idea.

I’m always just confused where people get the money for an iPad. I don’t want to hear a word from anybody complaining about affordability if they own a $600 device like that. Zero sympathy from me.
