Hi David,
Watched your video on AI chatbot kids' toys still being an obviously bad idea. You raise the questions we argued about all year while building ours.
I'm [REPREHENSIBLE SHITHEEL], founder of [ABOMINATION THAT SHOULD BE BANNED]. [ABOMINATION]s are AI plush buddies kids can talk to, and we spent the last year trying to make them genuinely fun for kids rather than another hype gadget. There's also a companion app with educational games, talking to your [ABOMINATION] digitally, and tic tac toe on a shared screen on an iPad.
I'd rather hear the honest criticism from someone skeptical than only from fans. If you'd ever want to take a hard look at it, I'm happy to set you up with the app, walk you through how it works, and answer any question on the record. No strings, no script.

i have a paid youtube channel, so i get multiple of this shit daily. all written with a chatbot too. but this is the worst this week.

It would basically be security research.
