It is hard to quantify the effects of AI though I feel sure you are right. My son has an app on the ipad called babytube, like youtube but for babies! It suggests films to watch for him, just like youtube, and what I have noticed is that his learning process & understanding of the world is hugely influenced by these suggested films. Feels like it is intentional when endless films showing sweets and cakes being eaten keep coming up! Where are the films about kids eating broccoli???

Mind control starts at an early age and it is tough to avoid on the internet these days.
