1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,360 Speaker 1: AI is getting out of control. It's a jewel show. 2 00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: From people falling in love with their chatbots to AI 3 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,840 Speaker 1: music artists now topping the charts instead of real people. 4 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:12,959 Speaker 1: It's getting ridiculous. And there's a new holiday trend that 5 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: parents are doing and it involves AI. Some parents say 6 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:18,319 Speaker 1: it's great and others say it's creepy, and almost every 7 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,279 Speaker 1: expert says no parents should use this. Oh no, what 8 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 1: AI technology is everybody freaking about right now? This holiday 9 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,560 Speaker 1: season will tell you right after this, it's the jewel show. 10 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 1: There's a form of AI that's terrorizing families this so 11 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 1: holiday season. It's a jewel show. And that might sound 12 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:37,159 Speaker 1: a little dramatic, but it's true. AI is used for 13 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: everything these days. Soon humans won't ever have to actually 14 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 1: think about anything, which is cool because none of us 15 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:44,880 Speaker 1: will have jobs where we need to think anyway, because 16 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: AI were doing everything. But this year, one holiday classic 17 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,559 Speaker 1: tradition is getting an AI makeover, and it has some 18 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: families completely creeped out and some experts saying no parents 19 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: should use this. Okay, what is it? Well, it's an 20 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: update on the l FA on the shelf. 21 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 2: Oh no, wait with AI? 22 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, how parents have started using new Elf on the 23 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: shelf technology called the AI ELF Surveillance System. It's sweeping 24 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,119 Speaker 1: across American households. It's basically the Elf on the shelf, 25 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 1: but it's a new AI powered smart ELF that watches, 26 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:24,199 Speaker 1: records and emotionally analyzes their children's behavior around the cloth. 27 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 2: Oh why well, okay, what do you mean? 28 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: Wait? Why do say? Well? 29 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 2: Well, like in theory, I don't like the idea of 30 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 2: something watching my child or me, but maybe it would 31 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:35,960 Speaker 2: be kind of a fun thing if they say, like 32 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:37,960 Speaker 2: if it has like a cute tell like when you 33 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 2: were sleeping and you turn to the right, that means 34 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 2: you're really generous. 35 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: The AI versions of the Elf on the shelf, well, 36 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: the most popular one goes for three hundred dollars whoa, 37 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 1: and it's equipped with facial recognition, a mood detector, and 38 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: a built in speaker that offers encouragement and also some 39 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: parents say judgment and unsettling compliments. So that's a little 40 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: freaky document. And you compare it to work with your 41 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 1: home items too, so your Alexa or any other smart 42 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: devices can also work with those. According to the manufacturer, 43 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: the elf learns your child's behavioral patterns and can report 44 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: naughty or nice things directly to Santa's cloud server in 45 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: real time. 46 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 2: No not how you communicate that to your kid. Santa's 47 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 2: server is gonna know if you've been naughty or nice. 48 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 3: This sounds like the movie Megan, and they did not 49 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 3: end well in that movie. 50 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 1: We're talking about an update on the Elf on the Shelf, 51 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: where parents this year are now buying AI versions of 52 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: the Elf on the Shelf. One mother said that she 53 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 1: walked in and the Elf told her son that he 54 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: was sixty eight percent nice today but trending down. And 55 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: then it said to the mom, don't worry, I've already 56 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 1: emailed Santa. Oh wow. 57 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 2: So they're essentially hiring a bully for their child, and 58 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 2: reports are also emerging that some families Ails have started 59 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 2: taking their jobs too seriously. 60 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: One mom in Ohio claimed that her Elf actually locked 61 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: the fridge because it compared with your other smart items. 62 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,760 Speaker 1: It actually locked the fridge because she told her daughter 63 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: she couldn't have anything from the refrigerator before dinner. 64 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 2: Say it. 65 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 1: Elf was like I got this and the fridge my bad. 66 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: We are kind of cool. Another family cool that was 67 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: that cool. 68 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 3: Because it's like if I tell you can't have anything 69 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 3: before dinner because you're gonna spoil your dinner. You're not 70 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 3: gonna have anything, and you're gonna try to go behind 71 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 3: my back when I'm not looking. 72 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 1: Try again, I'm being a kid. I would already be 73 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: scared of the Elvis's shelf if I was a kid 74 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 1: and had it around, you know, because it's watching me 75 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: all the time. They're playing back to Santa and yeah, 76 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 1: you know. But if it was like that and could 77 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: actually lock the refrigerator and it was watching me at 78 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: all times and recording my every move and knew what 79 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: my mood was, I was scary. Would that be? 80 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 2: But it feels like such a bully though. It makes 81 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 2: me feel like why can't I eat?

Another family said their 94 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: elf refused to go to sleep mode and instead began 95 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,919 Speaker 1: reading the children's search history out loud every night. 96 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 2: For good for my kids? 97 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 1: Who can this watch in real life?
