Just to like the radio, television, internet, etc...AI slip is here to stay, it might die down, but the cats out of the bag. I would take the same steps you would regular parental controls for tv/phone/internet if you're concerned. Secondly and more importantly you should be teaching your kids critical thinking skills and not to believe everything they see or hear...just like that old quote "Believe half of what you see and nothing of what you hear." The reason I say that is regardless of what you think of AI, it's good enough now to where you can grab a few minutes sound bite of someone from Facebook or YouTube and be able to imitate there voice. This generation is going to have to be much more viligant not just about spam emails, but audio and video calls imitaing a manger or a significant other...it's going to be very interesting

"If I find out you've been watching AI slop, there will be consequences. And don't think hiding it from me will make sure I don't find out. Watching slop makes people stupid in a very particular way, and you can't stop yourself from catching stupid from it, so I'll be able to tell." It's up to you what "consequences" means in this instance. You could even reveal that the consequence was the stupidity they developed along the way, and now they have to live with that. (By all means, modify this message to be less cold and more kind and loving. I am not good at that sort of thing.)
