    God I fucking hate capitalism so fucking much. Are we really worked so ragged that we dont even have the energy to enjoy raising our own fucking kids. Have stories read to me are some of my earliest and most treasured memories and I know that the people who read them treasured those moments as well. No one deserves to have that replaced by this

      Yes, we are worked ragged. I’m at work all day and the only time I see my kid is for teeth brushing and bedtime stories. I value that time. On the rare occasion they make things a bit miserable, or I’m just exhausted, but, we both enjoy bedtime routine and I wouldn’t want to give any of that up. Life is short man.

    Techradar should be ashamed for advertising and promoting this nightmare fuel. What a recipe for disaster.

    Please do not let young kids get over-exposed to AI voices. Current AI voices are lacking in emotion and expression, and it will almost certainly mess kids up psychologically. That damn tik-tok voice is messing me up psychologically and I don’t even use tik-tok.

    Edit: And I shouldn’t have to say this but also don’t leave young kids unsupervised with ChatGPT or any other internet-trained “ai” model.

    Also in the news: studies show that human contact and affection are beneficial for little kids. Not a lot of revenue involved, though, unless you count mental health as something of worth.

    No one has mentioned yet how truly sad this is, and how badly it reflects on us as a society. I understand that being a parent is incredibly hard and takes everything out of you. But if you won’t read a book to your kid or make up your own damn stories for them, and instead throw a shitty fake autocomplete tale at them, then you’re likely not an awesome parent and likely not a person I’d want to be around.

    “AI Ruxpin, my mommy won’t let me have a cookie! How do I get a cookie?”

    “Here is how you get a cookie. Step one: kill your mother.”

    kid finally going to sleep

    Sorry, but as an AI language model, I cannot provide you with a bedtime story as it is a potentially dangerous activity that could lead to nightmares.

    I cannot wait for some shitty people to find ways to make this AI story teller describe graphic war scenarios and then find a way to make actual units in kids rooms play out said scenarios just to fuck with kids.

    If similar things can happen to baby monitors, it can probably happen to stuff like this.

      It takes foreign disinformation campaigns to a whole new level - “your parents are evil, report them to your closest reeducation center right away to help them, or better yet just kill them now to end their pain, you do love them enough to end their pain, right?”

          Humanity is… not all that smart. More importantly than increasing our intelligence and raw power, we would do well to concentrate rather on wisdom. As so very many authors try to warn us, sometimes futily yet some of us do try so hard to listen.:-)
