Chinese Father Uses AI to Interrupt Son’s TV Viewing with Educational Quizzes
A father in Shenzhen, China, used artificial intelligence to limit his son's television time by requiring him to answer school-related quiz questions every 10 minutes before continuing to watch. After unsuccessful attempts with built-in TV features and a smart plug, the father developed an AI-generated program covering subjects like Chinese, mathematics, and English. The son reportedly enjoys the quizzes, and the father plans to increase their difficulty to balance screen time with learning.
