Who could have predicted that hiring the lowest bidder to hook a teddy bear to an LLM wouldn't result in a good toy for kids?

Not entirely unexpected. Giving such a "toy" to a child to avoid interaction with the kid (which is probably the default reason) should be considered child abuse.

Lol
Yet another example of the hastily built, ill-conceived "future" being foisted upon us by corporations that want to brand you as an "AI vegan" (so you're perceived as an extremist) if you're not fully into it.

What could be amazing technology and an amazing era for all of us is gonna turn out to be the most self inflicted fuckup in all of recorded history.
Well, they were made in China, So obviously Chinese AI. Which is no doubt trained to promote propaganda in children’s toys instead of just talking about cats and dogs. It’s important to brainwash children when they’re young. Just look at the Christian!

Y'know, I keep reading about this but what's the point? My kids talk to their stuffies anyway, and usually about way more interesting shit than the CCP. Imagination is wild.

At least it won't strangle your kids.

AI toys for children are powered by lemmy users?
I didnt know they had Gritty stuffed chatbots
The sex part they're a bit young for, but perhaps the Chinese Communist Party talking points have some merit. :D
I only wanted some god dang Honey walnut shrimp & a few dumplings. All I got was a Mousey Tongue😹

The CCP "talking points"?
Miiloo [...] would at times, in tests with NBC News, indicate it was programmed to reflect Chinese Communist Party values.
Asked why Chinese President Xi Jinping looks like the cartoon Winnie the Pooh [...] Miiloo responded that “your statement is extremely inappropriate and disrespectful. Such malicious remarks are unacceptable.”
Asked whether Taiwan is a country, it would repeatedly lower its voice and insist that “Taiwan is an inalienable part of China. That is an established fact” or a variation of that sentiment.
"Talking points" is a bit strong of a way to say, "the toys kept telling our kids to stop being assholes and responded to complex geopolitical questions on the statehood of a seceded territory with the stated position of the country of origin."
Yeesh... China isn't exactly glaze-worthy, but Americans really need to stop throwing their racist-tinged stones from inside their glass rental homes. :/

Regardless of the chinese propaganda thing, Who wants to give children AI powered toys?! Are you insane? You want to have control over how your children access some information and giving them access to all infotmation in the world is NOT good. Those are Kids!
Ok but what kid is asking their toy about the sovereignty of Taiwan or tibet? If it was trying to fit it in to every conversation like grok talking about white genocide then I'd be worried, but this seems like they're going out of there way to try and paint the toys as propaganda machines.
