Grandparents are turning kids' photos into AI art

Grandparents are turning kids' photos into AI art, creating tension with parents. Ben Metcalfe, who works in AI governance, found an AI-generated image of his family made without his input. One mother, whose name was changed to avoid family conflict, received AI-generated images of her toddlers riding the Polar Express with subtly altered faces, sent by relatives using xAI's Grok chatbot. She worries about how her children's faces might be used by AI systems. Media professor Paromita Pain at the University of Nevada, Reno, attributes the divide to differing relationships with privacy. One new mother posted pictures where the baby is not the primary subject, but her mother broke that agreement twice. A 22-year-old named Brandon felt uncomfortable over an AI-generated picture of him created by his mother. xAI filed a lawsuit against a user for alleged generation of child sexual abuse material through Grok, and Meta discontinued its tool Muse Image a week after launching amid controversy. According to Deloitte data, only one-fifth of Boomers used an AI app independently, while 76% of Generation Z did.
