“Kid friendly ChatGPT” is a huge oxymoron if I’ve ever seen one.
How many years until we get the Veldt?
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.
So Furbies weren’t cursed enough?
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.
S/over/at all
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.
@TheImpressiveX The bear looks creepy and devoid of soul even without the AI part
@TheImpressiveX Also I’m not sure Poe is the best guy to name a kids’ story generator after. Though I’d be curious about a kid-friendly version of Cask of Amontillado.
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.
Made me think of this
It made me think of teddy ruxpin, but the diamond age is an incredible book. I haven’t read all of his stuff yet, but that’s my favorite of his so far.
Now that would be a fun hacking project to subvert their AI system with something nefarious. It would not end the fairy tale by telling that prince and princess kissed and they lived happily ever after, but also the details how they made each other that happy…
Supertoys last all summer long.
What fresh new hell is this?
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.
Just replace the electronics of your talking Gilear plush with a bluetooth speaker & pipe Dimension 20 through it.
