New Trend Alert: GRANDMASLOP! 👵🤖😂

Apparently, grandparents have discovered artificial intelligence… and now NOBODY'S SAFE FROM GRANDMA'S CREATIVITY!
There's a new trend called "Grandmaslop," where grandparents use AI to turn photos of their grandkids into cartoon characters, princesses, superheroes, and other adorable creations.
Basically, Grandma has gone from knitting sweaters to digitally turning your children into Disney characters!
But not everyone is loving it.
Some parents are concerned because grandparents are uploading pictures of their kids to AI apps without asking permission.
One mom shared that her stepmother took photos from her daughter's first day of Grade 3 and, within 20 minutes, sent back AI-generated cartoons featuring the little girl's name AND the name of her school!
And that's where things get a little concerning.
Privacy experts recommend avoiding children's names, school information and other identifying details when using AI tools. It's also worth checking how an app handles uploaded photos.
The safer option is to create a fictional cartoon character without uploading a real child's picture.
But can we talk about how quickly grandparents have embraced technology?!
These are the same people who used to call us because they couldn't figure out how to attach a photo to an email!

Now Grandma's running an entire Pixar studio from her iPad!
And you KNOW she's sending those pictures to the family group chat with the caption:
"LOOK WHAT I MADE!!! ❤️❤️❤️"
Followed by 47 heart emojis and a Minion saying GOOD MORNING!
Grandmaslop: Because apparently, putting your grandkid's picture on the fridge just isn't enough anymore!
