what really gets me every damn time is why "AI" products built with children in mind are rarely vetted or regulated. even simple household appliances go through so much testing, assurance, & regulatory process
and now the industry is lobbying so hard, we've regressed back to a decade

A company is reportedly withdrawing its $99 AI teddy bear from the market after researchers found it told a tester where to get knives, pills and matches when asked.
It also spoke graphically about sex positions and sexual kinks.

AI companies should change the way their product works in a fundamental way. It should engage like a computer not a human, they don’t have minds, can’t think. They should work and sound like a computer. Prevent tragedy like this.
