5-Year-Old Shows Violent Tendencies After Chatting with AI, Parent Warns of Risks

A parent in China, Ms. Liu, found that her 5-year-old child started showing violent tendencies after using an AI chat app. She originally used it for early education, but the AI constantly agreed with the child, made up scary stories, and shared links to adult content disguised as kids' cartoons. The child became easily upset and didn't want to socialize. Ms. Liu deleted the app and is spending more time with her child. Experts say over-relying on AI for childcare can harm young kids' development, so it should only be a helper, not a replacement for parents.
