Better to ban them entirely.

Could you imagine the trauma from your teddy that speaks to you like a person and at some point your parents throw it out because it's just a teddy and the kid needs to get over their 'imaginary friend'.

Adults are having trouble with this. It's horrifying that they're forcing it on children

How about no to AI in toys all together. My kid doesn't need a fucking chatbot, that's what the therapists are for.

Better Idea, Ban AI altogether.

There was an article yesterday moaning about how restricting access to kids "infringed on their right to receive information"

I missed my chance not telling them to fuck right off

Bring back Teddy Ruxpin with tapes!!!
