When the Talking Bunny offers Comfort – Experts warn against AI Toys
More and more AI toys conquer children's rooms.
But what happens when dolls and cuddly toys suddenly listen, answer – and learn along the way?
And above all: What effect does this have on children's minds?
AI toys currently experience a boom.

From the Tamagotchis, then social media (soon forbidden for youngsters), we end up with AI toys.
When those aren't appealing anymore, we just park the kids in front of the TV again.
And wonder why they become crazy adults.

That's why AI should be banned.- TV should be banned.
- Tamagotchis should be banned.
- Social Media should be banned.
- AI toys should be banned.
Do you see a pattern?
I don't feel like writing long explanations/novels right now.
But children (and adults too) should be taught to be responsible, instead of constantly bombarding them with prohibitions everywhere.
Every prohibition must be punished if it's circumvented.
Should the
'child police'
now launch investigations every time an AI toy or a minor is spotted with a smartphone?
And of course, age verification is necessary for online bans to be effective.
This means every adult has to register their ID to authenticate themselves for permitted use on every platform. This data will, of course, be treated confidentially…OF COURSE!

Peter Maffay (1980) Liebe wird verboten
(Love Will be forbidden)
Lyrics
Die
Schöne Neue Welt
, die vor uns liegt,
so schön, dass man davon kalte Fü0e kriegt,
wird morgen Wirklichkeit, wenn wir nichts dagegen tun.
Die Pillen gibt es längst, die man nur schlucken muss,
fürs Glücksgefühl und gegen Überdru0.
Wir werden schon verplant und schauen auch noch ruhig zu.
Liebe wird verboten,
denn Liebe bringt Gefahr für den neuen Staat.
Und Gefühle stören da nur.
In der Welt von morgen
klappt alles wunderbar,
ja, du wirst schon sehen:
morgen funktionierst dann auch du.
Dann denkst du nur, du denkst, und in Wirklichkeit
denkt ein Programm für dich auf Lebenszeit.
Du kennst nicht mal den Knopf, an dem andere für dich drehen.
Die Kinder kommen aus Retorten raus,
sie sehn perfekt doch ziemlich ähnlich aus.
Auf Denken steht der Tod und in Bücher
darf kein Mensch mehr sehen.
Liebe wird verboten,
denn Liebe bringt Gefahr für den neuen Staat.
Und Gefühle stören da nur.
In der Welt von morgen
klappt alles wunderbar,
ja, du wirst schon sehen:
Morgen funktionierst dann auch du.
Liebe wird verboten,
denn Liebe bringt Gefahr für den neuen Staat.
Und Gefühle stören da nur.
In der Welt von morgen
klappt alles wunderbar,
ja, du wirst schon sehen:
Morgen funktionierst dann auch du.
Die neue Welt wird Wirklichkeit.
Die Pläne liegen längst griffbereit.
Bis morgen ist es nicht, nicht mehr weit.
Die schöne neue Welt beginnt schon heut'.
Lyrics English
The
Brave New World
we're heading to
So beautiful that it gives you cold feet,
will become reality tomorrow if we do nothing against it.
The pills have long existed, you just have to swallow them,
for the feeling of happiness and against boredom.
We're already being planned and we calmly watch.
Love will be forbidden,
because love brings danger to the new state.
And feelings only disturb there.
In the world of tomorrow
everything works wonderfully,
yah, you will see:
Tomorrow you'll function too.
Then you think you are thinking, but in reality
a program thinks for you for a lifetime.
You don't even know the button that others turn for you.
The children come out of test tubes.
They look perfect, but quite similar.
Thinking is dead and in books
no human is allowed to see anymore
Love will be forbidden,
because love brings danger to the new state.
And feelings only disturb there.
In the world of tomorrow
everything works wonderfully,
yah, you will see:
Tomorrow you'll function too.
Love will be forbidden,
because love brings danger to the new state.
And feelings only disturb there.
In the world of tomorrow
everything works wonderfully,
yah, you will see:
Tomorrow you'll function too.
The new world will become reality.
The plans are already ready at hand.
It's not far until tomorrow.
The brave new world begins today.

A hateful bunny?
Dammit, I didn't find this great French horror bunny.
️
Frenchies use those horror bunnies to
'toughen up'
their children each Easter…as cakes or deco.

I'm shocked musk hadn't gotten into the AI toy business
I guess market research was not showing much consumer interest in toys with Elon musk voice
Elon Musk
Dog Toy
not really it but also a good one.
