Boomers Can’t Stop Gifting Their Grandkids AI-Generated Slop Books

Parents are pushing back on AI-generated children’s books relatives are gifting to kids using names, photos, and family details.

The books are often criticized as repetitive, low-quality, and intrusive, especially when made without parents’ consent.

The WIRED report says the trend raises privacy and consent concerns around children’s likenesses and family information.

It also points to a broader worry: AI-made books could crowd out better children’s literature at a time of weak reading habits and falling literacy.
