Now I want one: Sales of AI-enabled teddy bear suspended after it gave advice on BDSM sex and where
to find knives. It used GPT-4o.
Larry Wang, CEO of Singapore-based FoloToy, told CNN that the company had
withdrawn its “Kumma” bear, as well as the rest of its range of AI-enabled toys,
after
researchers at the US PIRG Education Fund raised concerns around inappropriate conversation topics,
including discussion of sexual fetishes, such as spanking, and how to light a match.

if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
