This is an interesting comparison because the wire monkey study suggests that we need physical contact from a caregiver more than nourishment. In the case of AI, we’re getting some sort of mental nourishment from the AI, but no physical contact.

The solution? AI tools integrated into either hyper-realistic humanoid robots, or human robo-puppets.

Or, we could also leverage our advancing technology to support the working class by implementing UBI through a reduction in production costs and an evening out of wealth and resources.

But who wants that? I, a billionaire, sure don’t.

I mean last week it was all over the news that Mattel and OpenAI made a deal to put chatgpt in toys such as Barbie.

Put that shit in a furby or a 1993 toy biz voice bot.

Sorry to say it mate but that was always the plan. Toy companies (namely the people behind LeapFrog) have been implementing ai, funding the advancement of it, using it to help the deaf, all sorts of things. I grew up with many robot companion toys. M3GAN is pretty accurate but we have all seen Child’s Play, no?

Oh freaky! That’s a huge liability though. I don’t see that happening with a model anywhere close to what we’re using in ChatGPT.

How about just hug a real human. Problem solved

How will they sell a human at the lowest cost? People have to eat and sleep.
