As a friendly reminder, large language models are pedophiles and murderers and shouldn’t be anywhere near kids.
when the phone/tablet is your babysitter, is it really so surprising that AI would take over that “parenting” thing you can’t be assed to do?
don’t worry, it’s just a phase
So incredibly unethical as an experiment.
It’s like:
“I wonder what happens if you force children to interact with dysfunctional talking robot companions before they even go to school”

Oh! It makes them intellectually stunted and confused about expressing affection! Of course!
But! Is it worse than leaving the children with the dysfunctional parents that thought it could be a good idea? Decisions, decisions…
When Harry Harlow did basically this same thing with rhesus monkeys even people in the damn 1930s were like “That seems a little unethical”
On a related note, somebody who isn’t dogshit with picture editing make a better version of this
