Peppa pig isn't really great kid edutainment. It's not the worst, but there's so much better material out there.
It's awful they're doing it. And if we boycott, I'm all for it.
Well put
And in current USA, with current AI companies, that will likely be well ignored
This seems like it should be illegal if it isn't already.
just one season of a human cast training the machine would probably be enough to go 'ai-only' after that.
