This is pretty much the textbook definition of moral panic.

Some claim their videos are educational, but quality varies. It's also deeply unlikely that any of these mass-produced AI videos are being pushed out in consultation with childhood development experts...

Yeah, I laughed when I hit this bit.

"Deeply unlikely" sounds like a stylistic mistake by a bad LLM. I've never heard that one.

"Highly unlikely" is the more common expression

I think I've heard "deeply" being used that way for a good few years now. Might have been making its way round for a while!

Except that definition had an absence of evidence.

... What are you saying exactly? If enough people believe a word has a certain definition, then that word is given that definition, that's how language works. There is nothing stopping the word Frindle for example replacing the use of the word pen.
