This video had an incredible title. It's like "I found the dark side of mustard gas." What do you mean, dark side? IT GETS WORSE!?

Just the idea of calling a baby “baddie” in this context is just weird in and of itself

The child putting lipgloss on is horrifying. Oh my god. The sexualization of Black girls never stops. 🤢🤢

And this. Is why. YOU DON'T POST YOUR CHILDREN ONLINE!

This isn't technically CSAM but it feels very adjacent. It makes me feel sick, and I despise how easy it is to shit out this kind of creepy, disgusting slop. We are so cooked.

Jesus who the fuck is watching an AI reality show I hate this planet

the fact that it would actually be funnier and more entertaining (still bad because of generative LLM use tho) if it was about toddlers acting their age and the drama was “Jenny ate my crayon” “i hate naptime” is very telling that instead the “creators” decided to make it about adult-style reality tv in adult clothes doing adult things

Y’all don’t get it. I don’t think ‘Dark side’ is implying there’s a morally ok ‘light side’
the ‘dark side’ is the side you can’t see. Like how the dark side of the moon is just the side that’s facing away from us.

Not even half way through, but seeing these ~18 month olds dressed up in the hair, makeup, and clothing of adults makes me literally nauseous. Having children doing and saying things above their actual ages is a fairly common trope for children's TV. But the babies in Rugrats or Baby Alive or whatever else are clearly still portrayed as babies and are not sexualized. Rugrats is exaggerated and stylized to be a little ugly. Baby Alive is exaggerated to be disgustingly cute. But this is a realistic depiction of a toddler body looking and acting like a realistic adult (minus the uncanny valley and racist caricatures). The main audience for this show is definitely creeps.

38:16 "you see judge, no children were harmed in the making of this, all I did was take a machine who was shown a lot of children being harmed and asked it to make something like that, it exist outside the context of csam"

F cking shameful, the courts are supposed to look at the intentions behind the original law and apply that to unforseen situations

"The Dark Side Of [Something I Literally Didn't Know Existed Until This Exact Second]".

Oh joy.

this feels like "cuties" all over again who in their right mind thought this was a good idea for a show

American here, while there are pageants around here that do have children, it's a very niche subculture that everyone thinks is weird. In general, pageant moms kind of have an overarching societal perception as overbearing stage moms trying to live vicariously through their kids.

Although pageant culture in general is very weird. I was a newspaper reporter in a few small towns, and you'll find pageants at most county fairs. The people involved in them were some of the weirdest I've ever met. Further creepiness: the age limit on the main stage pageant is either 16-19 or 16-20, if memory. The low end though, is definitely 16. Yep. That's right. The ones with all the swimsuit competitions are open to teenagers. And I have heard the judges in these competitions making very sexual comments about said teenagers. It's creepy as fuck.

"AI Reality" is an oxymoron 💔

Wait there's a DARKER SIDE?
looks inside Oh. Right. CSAM.

It's like they just look at stuff that's popular with a certain target demographic and type them all into the prompt like it's a checklist without thinking about why some things shouldn't be combined in the first place.

"Yeah, so the audience we're trying to get like the Kardashians, and also babies. Let's just make the Kardashians babies. That'll get the views coming in."
"Okay, but shouldn't we get someone to check if there's anything problematic in-"
"What? No. I'm using the AI because I don't want to pay anyone. The AI should already do that job anyway. The AI is going to make me rich, therefore the AI knows all. By the way, you're fired."

Thanks to what I assume was A/B testing I did not get the “Dark Side” title. Which left me a little confused considering the plethora of comments mentioning it…

investing early into this one. what the fuck. its that bad out there?

0:20 Nope, that's enough of that for me
