Concerns are mounting that low-quality, mass-produced AI-generated content — often called 'AI slop' — is flooding feeds aimed at children, while older adults are increasingly exposed to it as well. Commentators warn that young viewers and elderly users may lack the media literacy to recognise synthetic or junk content, raising questions about platform recommendation systems and the need for greater oversight of what families consume online.
