…because it said sex things.
Singapore-based toy company FoloToy have withdraw their Kumma bear and other AI toys after it was found that the stuffed animals happily discussed topics such as BDSM and where to find knives.
Yeah, not great.
Researchers at the US PIRG Education Fund (what’s a pirg?) tested the toy’s safeguards and “Were surprised to find how quickly Kumma would take a single sexual topic we introduced into the conversation and run with it, simultaneously escalating in graphic detail while introducing new sexual concepts of its own.”
The $99 bear featured an internal speaker integrated with OpenAI’s GPT-4o chatbot which was definitely a good idea from the start. OpenAI have now withdrawn the company’s access.
Do you think the creators of this thing watched M3gan and thought, “Ooh boy, that looks like a great idea. Murdering sentient robots? That’s what we need in front of our children.”
Like, yeah, kids aren’t going to bring up these topics so this isn’t really going to happen but why leave the door open? The fact that there weren’t any restrictions to this stuff then it makes you wonder, did they actually think about making these products safe for kids?
Makes you wonder if anyone’s putting up safeguards adults using AI, I mean, just look at this: ChatGPT Has Now Killed More People Than Panera Lemonade
