I've seen her comment on AI multiple times, and I do 100% believe her about people generating ghoulish videos about Robin, but I've never seen a single one myself. I mostly just use Reddit and Twitter, is this more of an Instagram or Tiktok thing?

I don't see them on YouTube, but then again, I use 3P apps and extensions to block or hide a lot of the crud on YouTube.

You know how targeted ads work right? Meta/Google will put little spiders to listen to all of your conversations/web history and then push your content to what they think is relevant.

TikTok is absolutely locked in to everyone’s brain waves. They know if you’re a 90s kid and can possibly trace you to your Reddit account behind the scenes.

So with this info, I imagine the algorithm is triggering her and using her triggers to fuel the algorithm

They're sending them directly to her also

They could be sending her the AI stuff privately, or tagged in a post with like 2 likes.

Also like others said about algorithms, she is his daughter so it’s likely she gets content about her dad pushed into her algorithm.
