最新报道:AI-powered plush toys like Curio's Grem and Grok are being marketed as screen-free alternatives for kids, but concerns remain about their impact. During a demo, The New York Times' Amanda Hess found Grem unsettling, describing it as more of a parent replacement than a toy upgrade. While these chatbots may reduce screen time, Hess warns they reinforce the idea that curiosity is best satisfied through technology. After removing Grem's voice box, her children still engaged with it creatively before returning to TV. The debate continues over whether AI companions truly benefit child development.
