Poe the AI Story Bear is the first talking toy bear to use ChatGPT to tell bedtime stories. Developed by CNET, the bear is currently in the development stage, with early reviews by Bridget Carey highlighting its unique storytelling capabilities. The toy is designed to engage children by using artificial intelligence to generate stories, potentially holding their interest for longer periods. However, there are limitations on the number of stories that can be created, with each Poe coming with credits to create 75 stories. Additional credits would need to be purchased by parents to continue creating new stories. The introduction of AI in toys like Poe raises questions about the need for parental guidance, similar to other media like TV and video games. The ethics of AI in children's toys is also a topic of discussion.
Prompt-hacking for kids: some "did want to keep creating stories, eventually treating it like a game to see what they could make the bear say. (And cram everything possible into a story to be silly)": https://t.co/NwRXNUT8G7 #ethics #AI #tech
