When Ben Metcalfe visited his grandparents, he was greeted by an AI-generated caricature of a family photo on the kitchen wall; Metcalfe, a Gen Zer working in AI governance, called it a major privacy concern despite the good intention. Jen, a 32-year-old mom, said her mother texted her AI images last Christmas of her two toddlers sitting in Santa's lap and riding the Polar Express, generated with Grok, xAI's chatbot; she found them too unsettling to embrace and worried about how the bot could use her children's faces, citing news about Grok generating sexual abuse material. For Mother's Day, a friend sent her a coloring sheet with her kids' faces, and her brother-in-law used AI to add one of her kids to a family photo. Jen said everyone means well but is walking blindly into a big risk, adding that people aren't educated enough about what AI companies do with their content. The article describes an intergenerational "slop fight": lawmakers calling for kids to be booted from social media and parents concerned about data privacy sharing less, while Europe considers regulations limiting chatbot and AI companion access to those younger than 15, against relatives uploading millions of images of kids into AI generators and sharing the output.
