I don't get what you are trying to say here? Yes, memes are arts however foreign it might be to older folks. To your second point, you know about Frozen because everyone else also watches that. We are about to lose that if there are 1 million variations of "Frozen"-esque movie that people can watch.
I don't think have an AI partner that is trained from zero from childhood to adulthood with goals such as "make me laugh" is too far fetched. The problem is you will never be able to connect with this child because the AI is feeding it insanely obscure, highly specific videos that matches the neurons of the kid perfectly.
I actually have kids, two of them in kindergarten. I can already see this problem affecting them, because beyond Frozen and Paw Patrol and a couple others, everyone also has their own favorite series on YouTube that few other kids heard of, and I can see kids trying and failing to bond over those.
I never thought I'd be thankful for global, toy-pushing franchises, but they at least serve as a social object for kids, when the current glut of kids videos on YouTube doesn't.
