celeb news Grimes unveils AI children’s toy

[Nefertiti0]

The Washington Post reports that Grimes is “an investor in and advisor to” Curio, a new startup that’s partnering with Open AI to develop a line of AI-powered plush toys. The characters Grok, Gabbo, and Grem are interactive little soft guys. The toy’s makers promise that they’ll be “capable of long-running fully interactive conversation, allowing a child to view it almost as a peer or friend.” That’s terribly depressing, on an existential level! Grok is the one shaped like a rocket, and Curio apparently owns the copyright on the word.
 

The Curio toys come with an app that’ll give parents transcripts of all their conversations with kids, and parents will also be able to keep them from discussing some topics and encouraging others. The founders of Curio say that the toys were developed with Grimes’ kids in mind, and Grimes will provide the toys’ voice. In a video that Grimes posted on Twitter today, Grimes says, “As a parent, I obviously don’t like kids [something] screens, and I’m really busy, so we’ve created some AI toys.” She also gets Grok to say how rockets are made.

Put the veil back on

[jesus del rey]

Can't believe I used to be a fan of hers

[May]

I’d be into it but -

 

the voice isn’t distinct or memorable enough

the toys don’t look unique or interesting

[RideOrDie]

megan sweetie...

Maybe the toy can tell her to wash her hair since no one else in her life will.

The disdain some of y’all have for AI is kind of embarrassing, it’s an inevitable component of the future whether you want it to be or not

It’s giving people who hated computers & the internet. You’re eventually going to integrate it into your life anyway.

One must have disdain for the depraved, perverted nerds who are in charge of the technology. The AI industry leader firm at the moment is under control of someone who stockpiles weapons and sexually abuses little girls. THAT's what is embarrassing.

Sam Altman =/= AI

 

and the disdain I’m referencing is peoples cultural and social misconceptions about AI. I highly doubt the majority of them are familiar with the information you’re citing

[Marla Singer]

Well ununveil it.

[venuss]

I think there was a Black Mirror episode about this?

AI is much more dangerous than the internet or computers ever were 

 

Nobody should be embracing technology that will harm just about every industry. Not to mention the danger it poses with deepfakes, speech, etc.

Pandora’s box is opened, it’s not like public disapproval is going to reverse decades of research and progress on this. We can either reject it out of fear or accept it and start to regulate it so that the fears you hold don’t come to fruition. The longer we spend fighting about its existence the less time we have to catch it in its earliest phases and course correct any future errors.
