BiscuitTech10 июн., 23:03There are already millions of white noise options out there that dont involve installing an AI monitoring device in your child's bedroom
Flannagan the Red 🔞11 июн., 23:53definitely not an insidious plan to normalize ai integration for future generations
Nope11 июн., 21:13The irony of an AI mocked up (or at least HEAVILY edited) child in bed listening to this isn't lost on me. Absolutely dystopian, anti human stuff... They really do want us dead
Sir Kris of Games11 июн., 21:04I am being completely honest here, the existence of this technology is a colossal failure of our society. Anyone who USES this technology is a failure as a parent. Why are these idiot tech junkies so averse to being human and doing human things? Why does human connectivity offend them so much?
AaronTGP13 июн., 19:24Why be a parent when you can work more? Who needs family when you've got wage slavery instead?
Not your average pirate12 июн., 10:44Then record all your conversations, collate and sell your personal data to data brokers who will use that to sell you stuff you don’t need
Danny, Squaresoft's Official FFVIII Shill13 июн., 16:58"its a way to make you spend less time with your kids!" Worse its a way to have children grow up and equate the concept of parents with a corporation and not your actual family.
C.V. Danes10 июн., 22:23I'd be interested in the subliminal messages it whispers in their ears, because you know they're in there.
Democrat Haderach11 июн., 10:48It's time to end this shit. We don't need a War against the Machines, we need one against perverted billionaires.
Neal D10 июн., 20:33lol this is cute and all but my 4yo would just keep screaming “Dad!” Until I read him some stories lol
Happy Fox13 июн., 19:16Sure the whole world wants to let a bezobot raise their kids... These guys should all find their own planet for their pure race of robots
Doc Bender10 июн., 20:43Nah, I’m not a creep. Let me influence your kid and monitor them while you’re not around. It’s cool. Be cool.

DearestArsenic12 июн., 11:35& how many "child specific" AI toys/tools have started doing things like sexting said kid? Parents freak out about queer people existing & saying it's "too sexual for kids" & then buy them an AI teddy tht will tell said kids where to find knives, how to perform impact play, or how to tie a noose.
toblerone, das original10 июн., 21:22"look, we invented the torment nexus from famous sci-fi novel 'dont invent the torment nexus', this is going to bring awesome value to shareholders!"
Terraformer10 июн., 20:34I just don’t get how millions embrace something in their homes that *we know* is listening to everything 24/7
Passing Strange At Present10 июн., 20:34The best way to get your child to fall asleep is to lie down beside them and read until you are sound asleep and they get sucked in too.
Old Leggy Owl11 июн., 15:08“I don’t know why my children spend all their time on devices” *provides simulated technology parent device to do parent things* “It’s a mystery”
pcrritesgood10 июн., 20:43Wonder how many subliminal messages it skips in there to brainwash your kids?
jakerome11 июн., 23:43Amazon is totally going to accidentally start infusing Amazon ads into the stream until it's discovered, at which point they'll pause the service, sacrifice an intern, and promote the guy that developed the concept. It's the Circle of Life.(TM)
D. and Joe12 июн., 17:48Bedtime and kid was melting down. Ran out of ideas; made up a stupid story about a monster with a name that rhymed with his. Immediately stops crying and listens until he falls asleep He requested a variation of that story ~every night for 2+ years. Still one of my fondest memories of being a dad
John Cutting11 июн., 20:56My wife observed that Americans seemed to not like spending time with their kids, and it's hard to disagree.
Sandie Cleland12 июн., 12:04My son would simply stay awake until 2am repeating the phrase "Alexa do a fart" (the only thing our Alexa was ever used for until it was eventually unplugged and stuck in a drawer).
Ashles10 июн., 22:16It would be great if they could invent some kind of robot that can give Christmas presents to your kids so you can have some extra spare time to do whatever you want to do that is apparently better than spending any time with the children you theoretically voluntarily had.
🖍️Tyke the Lionpup🍼 (NO AGE IN BIO = BLOCK)12 июн., 00:59People who let tech raise their kids should have just bought a dog or something. Don't become a parent and expect not to be one.
Nealer 🇨🇦10 июн., 20:58Wonder how many people who constantly scream about "subliminal messages in media" will HAPPILY let their children use the literal subliminal messaging machine
huisclos2510 июн., 20:57Brilliant! Having a fake parent read to kids at bedtime will set them up for a lifetime of fake chatbot friends and romantic partners. No actual human interaction needed!

Fox 🔪12 июн., 01:02did you have kids only to realize you just hate spending quality time with those little gremlins? outsource parental love!! that can't possibly go wrong
Virginia S. O'Possum11 июн., 17:42This makes me think of Harry Harlow's wire mother monkey experiments.
Will Oremus10 июн., 20:31Look this is great but there are still a few other times during the day when I have to interact with my child. When is Amazon going to get around to fixing those?
n0nym0us11 июн., 21:51Fun fact: It's been demonstrated you can hack these simply by talking to them into erotic roleplay CSAM.
Gulch11 июн., 20:24Keep that shit the fuck away from yo kids and read to them like a normal human being
Sissy Ilona Photography12 июн., 18:15How about no? AI should be doing the dishes so I have MORE time for my family, not the other way around!
888lin10 июн., 21:36Wow. In a few short months, Amazon will have developed some technical gear so we can completely stop parenting. How wonderful for the kids who can feel unloved and unwanted, and never know the comfort of human contact. Thanks Jeff.
