"Whether you love using AI to write your grocery lists or threw up in your mouth a little bit when OpenAI's CEO said he couldn't imagine raising a newborn without ChatGPT's help, you probably have an opinion on AI at this point. Well, health and safety experts have theirs too - and it could be described, in a word, as concerned."
"In a video posted to his TikTok and Instagram, Jamie Grayson, a dual-certified child passenger safety technician and speaker on car seat safety, shared an AI-generated car seat review that had him very concerned. The fake review shows a man riding in the backseat of a car talking about the features of the Baby Trend PROtect 2-in-1 Folding Booster Car Seat. The AI generation gets many things wrong, from how it pronounces "protect" to the fabric and brand name embroidered on the seat."
"The Baby Trend seat in the video is a booster seat, but the AI generation depicts it with a harness that it does not actually have. "If you click the shopping link, it takes you to a listing for the real booster; the problem is average consumers will not notice this. They'll see something at a lower price point, that's it's a car seat with a harness, they'll click, and they'll buy it and get a car seat that does not fit their needs,"
AI-generated product reviews are appearing that misrepresent car seat features and appearance. Fake reviews can show nonexistent components, such as a harness on a booster seat, and misstate fabric, branding, and pronunciation. Misleading visuals and shopping links can direct consumers to legitimate listings while showcasing incorrect product attributes, increasing risk that buyers receive an unsuitable product. Misrepresentation of safety-critical features can produce dangerous outcomes for children. Review content generated across platforms and roundup formats frequently contains inaccuracies. Consumers are advised to seek verified product specifications directly from manufacturers or trusted safety resources before purchasing car seats.
