AI-Generated Cartton on YouTube Kids: An Analysis on Pacing, Sensory Intensity and Toddler Attention
Abstract
Since the recent boom in AI, there has been a rapid use and generation of various types of AI content all across different digital platforms. One area where this is seemed to take a majority control over is cartoon. Majority of the audience have seen ai-generated cartoon of cats and ducks similarly, cartoon for toddlers has seen a huge surge of ai-generated cartoon. Compare to traditional cartoons which the previous generation have grew up on, the AI cartoons are fast paced, employ highly-saturated colors, have quick fast cuts and most of them seem to have continuation error or distortion, all to sustain attention. Such a shift in how content for toddlers is created has brought a drastic change in their behavior. Where cartoons used to be something played in the background for a limited time, it’s now had the toddler glued to the screen and parents have noticed their toddlers being more aggressive and unsettled once such cartoons are turned off. Despite this drastic shift, limited study has been done on how these ai-cartoons negatively affect the toddler’s cognitive development and disrupts and shortens their attention span. This research paper aims to address this issue through a qualitative analysis for which 15 AI- generated cartoon clips have been selected from YouTube Kids to study the characteristics of AI cartoons and examining how such content exceeds a toddler’s processing abilities. This research aims to highlight the implications and encourage to being more focus on development appropriate media for children.
