    As a nanny, loved seeing Daddy Gonzalez speak out about the harm of AI kids content. The difference between kids I watch with and without youtube kids access is immeasurable. Children deserve good quality media that aids in development while also entertaining them, not this shit thats literally rotting their brains.

    • @cassualtea2040
      @cassualtea2040 Місяць тому +447

      Too many people who make this kids content just see kids as a demographic they can earn money from. There's none of the thought that should be going into these kinds of edutainment efforts for developing kids like "Who is this for? What do we want them to learn from this? How should we make them feel."
      Its kids content being made by people who don't care about kids beyond the watchtime that they can give them.

      i realized that somehow with children’s content, the emotional emptiness is more evident than with any other genre. it’s significantly easier to tell when media for kids was made with love and care and passion, and when it wasn’t. i’d be interested to know if anyone has explored why it’s such a stark difference.

    • @beansandboarsontherun5762
      @beansandboarsontherun5762 Місяць тому +331

      @@chiefofthesky My theory; It's really easy to make something that you can call "Kid's content" in all forms of media. Kids aren't often very critical about things, certainly not to the degree adults are, nor are they very aware of what makes something quality, or what makes something lack quality. They also don't have as much of a frame of reference as older people who have seen more things and can therefore distinguish better what is good and what is not. It's also just a fact that even high quality kids content is very simple. While many kids are definitely more capable than adults give them credit for, it is also true that keeping things simple, especially the younger they are, just makes things a lot less frustrating for everyone involved. Like when I was a kid, I enjoyed the Jungle Book (the animated movie). I also loved to read, so I tried to read the ACTUAL Jungle Book. It was infuriating to me, it was way more complicated than I felt it needed to be.
      Look at children's books, you know. Even the ones we look back on fondly... I mean, really, anyone could have written most of them. Simple language, short sentences, silly premises. It's REALLY easy to entertain kids, especially younger ones.
      Shitty people recognize this and use it to their benefit. You COULD make a very high quality show with in depth writing, important lessons, fun and educational content, etc. Or... you could make some crude 3d models of generic but friendly looking characters, play a funny jingle over it and tell some fart jokes, and booom-you have now grabbed the attention of hundreds of children. Sure, they're not gaining anything of value... but the funny voices are all they need to keep watching the screen, putting money into your pocket.
      And nowadays with kids being allowed to run rampant on the internet without supervision, there's often times no adult standing next to them to say "Hey, this content is mindless or even downright inappropriate!" and point them in a better direction while doing something active against (like reporting) said inappropriate content, so it's really easy to get that stuff in front of kids and just.. keep it there.

    In regards to the personality copying/algorithm discussion, the frustrating thing I've noticed about getting started on UA-cam is that yes, those trends DO matter. Its frustrating as a smaller creator, because it feels like you're forced to make the same videos as everyone else. I like to make Minecraft content (All my old content is currently unlisted) and it genuinely feels like you can't get anywhere if you don't make the same 100 Days slop or whatever else every other content creator on the platform is putting out. I fear the algorithm is the death of creativity.

    As someone with OCD, it makes me so irritated that Brent copied Rhett and Link’s music and video. They made that video because Rhett’s wife has OCD. Sure, it’s a stereotypical representation, but it’s well done and they did it because of the lived experience of someone close to them. Brent blatantly copying it for clout destroys any kind of real meaning behind the song and commodifies OCD for profit.

      I just went to watch both videos, having never seen either of them. I have OCD too, which doesn't always present as a feeling that things are out of place, but it can. It doesn't bother me that much when people make OCD-related jokes; I don't really like it either, but there are many, much worse things to make jokes about. Rhett & Link's video did at first come across a little weird, considering the only joke seemed to be "a guy with OCD is upset" - at least until the punchline at the end, where it turns out that Link actually enjoyed fixing everything, which I thought was cute. Brent's video I wouldn't have clocked was even about OCD until he said "it's just my OCD." Most of the things that were bothering him in that video seemed like things that would bother a lot of people. I guess he's just so used to copying everything that he had to copy that too lol

I still don’t love the music video; it’s a play on the unhelpful “I’m so OCD” joke, and just because Rhett’s wife has OCD and they asked her about it before posting doesn’t really make that different. But I do appreciate that they took the time to not only put that disclaimer in their description but also a GMM ep discussing what OCD is and isn’t following the release of the music video.

Well, it isn't the song word for word, the bits in the video that Danny pointed out that Brent copied for sure, and the fact he clearly just slightly reworded the original disclaimer that Rhett and Link had shows that he thought he could just loosely copy the concept of the song and then change the lyrics and call it a day without thinking people would notice.

FaceTime doesn't crop when you hold it in portrait, meaning that Brent either paid him for a Cameo which would be very funny and rather sad, or they arranged for him to send a prerecorded video. Either way he's a liar AND a thief.

      @@dogbot55 yeah but like let’s say you can make 30 ai drawings in the same time it takes a real artist to make one good real drawing, people don’t like ai art as much so the engagement you’ll get for 30 crappy ai arts is likely less than the engagement you’d get from one good real art so you might as well spend your time making art normally. Plus ai art is of dubious legality and therefore not a good thing to base your career off. It also doesn’t build any skills so you are left with zero transferable skills if it doesn’t work out for you unlike real art which can be applied to many fields. Plus any given person can make it for free just as easily so no one who is pro ai art is likely to pay you for using your ai art rather than just typing some keywords into the ai generator themselves to make something similar for free.

    I’m a new teacher and recently they required everyone to attend a meeting where they told everyone how they should be using AI in the classroom. They showed off that Suno music making site to the entire school district and played this AWFUL song about how teachers have the most important job in the world. As a music producer and music teacher I was just seething in my chair. Then the person who runs the choir with me decided to use it to make a song to sing with the choir. Now all the teachers are using it because they think it’s so cool and it just makes me depressed. I physically cannot describe how shitty and soul-less everything that comes out of that site sounds. None of them understand how angry it makes me as a professional musician to watch them type some words into the computer and watch a horribly written & fully produced song pop out in seconds. Makes my blood boil and now they’ve got the entire school district using it.

It sucks so much that your district is overlooking your profession for the sake of dumb AI trends. Nothing they can ever do will match up to choir music by real people tho, and I’m sure the kids will like what you pick and teach much better, too. I’m sure I’m just preaching to the choir lol, but I empathize with you, and you got this 😊

The examples he gave was for things like emails to parents and progress reports! Those are both things that need a careful hand and a personalized message! As a writer, it made me actually sick to my stomach to see all the teachers around me ooo-ing and ah-ing over all the functions of the bot our school had partnered with...

UA-cam is owned by Google; Google's search engine does use image filenames to contextualize the content on a page, so one lesser-importance SEO best practice is to optimize filenames. I don't know if that's also true for videos on UA-cam but I wouldn't be surprised, but in any event this probably came about from SEO managers who work on both written and video content.

      I'm pretty sure gen z says these slang more than gen alpha. It doesn't matter that it's ironic when it's still way more than all the times gen alpha says. I felt like I was losing my mind when y'all mfs were like "GEN ALPHA BE.LUEJE GEN ALPFBA BE LIKE AHAHAHAHAHHA BTHELID YOUJG GENRETATION DOOMED GENALPHA LOWKEY DOOMED WE ARE TOTALLY NOT JUST LIKE THE BOOMERS WE KEPT ON HATING"
      The cycle of hate never ends.
