This is simply horrible. Just horrible. Channels are pumping thousands of #AI #slop videos into YouTube targeting very young children.

“In one video that’s supposed to be a nursery rhyme about cars, children ride without a seatbelt and walk in the middle of a road with moving cars behind them.”

“Another AI-generated sing-a-long video about the US’s 50 states shows garbled state names that don’t match up with the vocals, as kids are asked to learn about “Ribio Island,” “Conmecticut,” “Oklolodia,” and “Louggisslia.””

“[Pediatrics professor Dana] Suskind…likened the cognitive effects to an even worse form of brain rot: a “brain stunt,” because the children are early in their cognitive development.”

If you’re a parent, DO NOT allow your kids to view YouTube unsupervised. At the very least, get YouTube Kids and curate their playlists. Things are bad out there.
