A father in southern China, in Shenzhen, uses an AI-modified TV setup to address his son’s television viewing. Reports say the system displays a school question every 10 minutes during TV programmes, and the boy must answer correctly to continue watching.
Outlets describe the approach similarly: it turns screen time into short quiz sessions tied to school subjects. NDTV and VnExpress International both frame the story around a father modifying a home TV system so the child answers regularly, while the South China Morning Post adds that the method spreads online and links it to concerns about screen addiction.
While the core details match across reports, the amount of background varies. Some coverage focuses strictly on how the AI prompts the boy during viewing, while others note the story’s viral reach and include additional limited personal context about the father.
