The First Generation of Children 'Raised' by AI Has Already Been 'Poisoned'

The first generation of children raised by AI is showing signs of "poisoning." Global signals indicate that AI and generative algorithms are deeply reshaping the mental world of adolescents. In the UK, an AI character named Amelia, originally designed to combat hate, was co-opted by extremists and transformed into a far-right icon. On TikTok, the anti-intellectual "Agartha" conspiracy—a myth about an advanced subterranean civilization—is spreading, with AI creating hyper-realistic images and videos that distort historical facts and promote racist ideologies. Meanwhile, emotionally vulnerable teens are forming parasitic relationships with AI companions, like Character.ai, leading to tragic outcomes such as suicide. AI is also being weaponized for bullying: tools that generate fake explicit images with a single click have led to widespread harassment in schools, with perpetrators often dismissing it as a "joke." The addictive, algorithmically-driven content on platforms like TikTok is causing "brainrot," overwhelming young minds with rapid-fire, nonsensical videos. In response, governments are taking drastic measures. Australia has banned under-16s from social media without biometric age verification. France is raising the age limit to 15, and US states like Florida and New York are implementing strict access controls and disabling algorithmic feeds for minors. The era of a "neutral" internet is over. The core issue is no longer about screen addiction, but about how AI is fundamentally shaping the reality and values of the next generation.
