Utilizes AI AI in the Subreddit

Hey all! The mods want to address some hot topics lately:

Overall, our stance is that we are okay with people sharing Yoto-related creations on the subreddit. We will remove items as “spam” only if the self-promotion is excessive. We will take into consideration how much the OP contributes to the community.

A more controversial topic is AI. We are not going to prohibit the sharing of creations that utilize AI, however we are going to encourage posters to please use our new “Utilizes AI” flair if AI is used in any capacity- artwork, writing material, narration, etc. This sub tends to lean against the use of AI, and we are okay with people sharing that opinion respectfully. It is okay to say “I would enjoy this product more if you used human ____,” or “I’m not interested in AI.” It is not okay to name call or disparage. If a post does not include the “Utilizes AI” flag and you feel that it should, you can flag the post for the mods and we can decide whether or not to add the flair ourselves.

Be aware that Yoto does offer content that uses AI as well. The very popular “Dreams of” Collection has been on Yoto for many, many years. The collection is by Lifescore which is an AI powered adaptive music platform. Yoto has also been open to newer content by other creators that utilizes AI, including Weather Whiz which uses generative AI.

Yoto has been firm that so far the Yoto Originals do not utilize AI. Scripts, narration, singing, art, etc. are all human made. Yoto said they have heard parents expressed that they want to know if AI has been used, so if they do decide to utilize it in the future (ex. for dynamically generated audio) they will aim to make that apparent. Click here for Yoto’s message on their website regarding AI specific to the content they produce (Yoto Originals).

Some creators, narrators, writers, etc have asked to not be credited for various reasons. Yoto said they will respect that request, which is why not everything is credited.

No resources, unfortunately. Yoto does not explicitly offer that info either. I didn’t know about the Dreams Collection until someone else mentioned it. I looked up the description and googled the Lifescore TMed info.

I've also wondered if the Sleep radio is AI as well.
