This isn’t kids “finding” dodgy stuff online it’s being shoved in front of them on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and streaming sites. These so called AI girlfriends are basically sex bots that exist to obey, which is a rotten message to be feeding young lads.
Some of these apps let users turn photos into violent porn, including of underage girls. Child protection groups are calling it grooming: boys being normalised into sexual violence and girls being told this is what they should accept. There’s already real harm showing up.
Other countries are banning this. Here, charities are saying the people running these platforms need to be criminally liable because regulation clearly isn’t working.

Don’t give kids phones, problem solved

Ireland young generation is so doomed, because there are so many lazy parents out there, not enough things for kids to do and the terrible layout of most Irish cities which is just suburban sprawl. Was in Denmark and the parents are so much more hands on and outdoor activities are so important, I saw way less phone usage.

There are so many parental controls available to parents, yet here we are… The first parental control is physically limiting access and screentime.

Have a look at the Nintendo Switch eShop too….there’s gangs of Hentai apps on that store as well, not sure if they come up on an under 18’s account, I sure hope they don’t

Every other ad I see is for one of those apps. I would just treat them like any porn. Apps that wouldn’t have you seeing ads for pornhub still allow AI porn apps.

I was always supportive of not regulating online content but the last few years has changed my mind. AI stuff like this targeting children and disinformation is rampant.

How much of this is parents giving their kids a device but then not been bothered to help set them up properly.
I have a friend whose young lad was watching all kids of mad shite. When the friend told us about it, it transpired he set it up using his email address, thinking he would b3 able to monitor it, so the app store and YouTube seem to belonging to a 38 year old.
Kids accounts and family link tools are there for a reason, use them and its a massive help.

I interact with so little AI content, but still I get ads for AI boyfriends with bad AI videos of men crushing watermelons with their thighs

The problem is the first half of that sentence. The day you give your child a connected device is the day you’re ok with them seeing hardcore content online. It’s that simple. You can’t block it all with the best of intentions and expertise.

I take it this can show up on an add on YouTube before or during a video, same as all those gambling ads.

Content Creators have to be careful with every word they say but advertisements can get away with advertising literal porn and scam Apps.

It’s as terrifying as it is digusting. It needs to be solved immediately. Seriously criminal responsibility for anyone using AI in this way, and for the people who make AI models that can do this.
Of course, because this is reddit expect the following:
-Parents should parent their kids
-Porn is good, actually
-All of these kinds of media reports are just a plan for governments to pass laws to harvest your data
-Jokes for karma, “what about the children” simpsons gifs
Here’s the thing – children don’t get to choose their parents and many parents are shite. Therefore the rules need to be strict as feck in order to protect even the most unlucky child.
We’ll look back at this era one day and wonder why we let the tech giants get away with anything they wanted to for a decade or more. And the answer will be because their share prices were making fortunes for the wealthy.

Got a Switch 2 off the missus for Christmas and when I opened the store on it to look for games there were like 10 AI hentai girlfriend games directly on the front page of the store.
This shit is fucking everywhere now and I’m sick to the back of my teeth with it.

So instead of getting the companies to be regulated, out country is looking for a digital id to be on social media.
We got to play nice or they may not prop up our gdp anymore

You still can’t get me to agree to curtailing everyones privacy and rights. Fine the companies doing it, don’t restrict the citizens.
