A recent investigation by The New York Times has brought to light a significant concern regarding content recommendations on YouTube. Following engagement with popular children's programming such as CoComelon, Bluey, and Ms. Rachel, researchers found that more than 40 percent of the YouTube Shorts subsequently recommended "appeared to contain AI-generated visuals."
