Why Are Gen Alpha Kids Developing 'Robotic Speech' Patterns?

[Hazel]

Teachers report children mimicking AI assistants' flat tone. Is this affecting emotional development?

Have you noticed younger kids speaking differently due to tech exposure?

I am not sure if kids these days are developing robot speech pattern, I haven't looked into this thing yet. If this is happening, I think it has got to do with the developing AI tools around us.

Children mimicking AI assistants’ flat, robotic tone or scripted phrasing can affect emotional development by limiting expressive communication, empathy, and nuanced speech. Younger kids exposed heavily to tech may show reduced vocal inflection and social engagement, needing real-life interaction to balance it.
