Disneyland is now the Creepiest Place on Earth. When a company synonymous with childhood feels emboldened and insulated by a culture that treats children’s data as corporate assets. This should raise the alarm for every parent about what type of future “surveillance capitalism” is building.

LLMs have internalized not just human expression but the distortions imposed by commercial platforms. Their training data is human expression downstream of algorithmic manipulation shaped by recommendation engines, outrage loops, engagement metrics, and social performance.

If AI companies can't be penalized for design flaws that allow harm because they are "used by others," when they are expressly created to be "used by others," any consumer protection law is unenforceable as it creates the same legal paradox that has shielded social media platforms for far too long.

The title is misleading as "random stranger" was in fact, "randomly selected fellow first-semester college student," (also don't text random strangers), but the point that human to human communication is better than human to bot is an important takeaway.
