If your 10 year old dies because of an AI created Tide-pod or Street-surfing challenge, I think you'll find it objectionable. Same for highly targeted fake news clickbait that causes a race riot.

Why does said 10 year old child have unfettered access to the internet? Also why is an AI ultimately responsible for a child choosing to perform some challenge? What if the 10 year old child played amogus & then decided to re-enact irl? I'd say it's less the source of a challenge or false factoid etc and more a cultural problem of no monitoring kids enough; parents give their kids phones & let 'em use TikTok to their heart's content cause it keeps the kids quiet. And immature kids love TT because it's easy to generate clout and therefore dopamine.

  Why does it need to be unfettered? They have peers. Kids smoke/drink and it's literally illegal to sell them cigarettes/alcohol. A significant percent of adults are also susceptible to crazed conspiracy theories... see QAnon. Now allow AI automation to target individuals and small groups to "optimize engagement" with apparently personal communications using A/B statistics. Everywhere all the time, because it's cheap, because it pays the rent. Some of them will be drawn to artificially generated violence inciting agit prop, because it works. There are negative externalities to that.
