What if Teddy Ruxpin but he was infinitely more harmful for the climate???
This thing just made the news in Finland after the app refused to work for everyone that had bought the bear on Christmas Eve
That aside, this shit is just grim. One, having fucking ChatGPT regurgitate some reconstituted literary pink slime to your children instead of just reading them a story book. Lower the kids’ standards and get them acclimated to AI garbage nice and early
Two, this shit is destined to be e-waste in two months when the app stops being updated
this feels like a lawsuit waiting to happen, given how off the rails AI can get on its own
