So for that element, I think it's creepy.
But for the side of like, you could probably be a lot more productive if it felt like someone was watching the whole time.
I can see why some people might like this product.
So that by far, I think was one of the funniest ones.
The next one is a AI Panda stuffy that is for older adults.
So the AI, the latest AI pet, it comes from Mind with Heart Robotics.
It's a company.
And essentially, they say that their goal is to support elderly care.
The panda has some high-tech sensors all over its body, so it reacts naturally when you touch it.
It's quote-unquote emotional AI, remembers your voice, how you interact, what you like.
So the longer you spend time with it, the more personalized it gets, apparently.
It is an emotional support stuffed animal is what they say to combat loneliness.
And if you are struggling with your memory, it can help keep you engaged and remind you about daily tasks and keeps caregivers in the loop about your well-being.
So if you have this thing all the time and you're sitting there complaining about something, when your caregiver comes, it can like tell the caregiver what's going on.
Like, I see it feels like they're trying to do a good thing with this.
It seems sad to me that we have to resort to AI stuffed animals for elderly folks to keep them company if they're struggling with loneliness.
I mean, if there's no other option, then perhaps this is a tool that could be useful in some sort of good way.
But to me, it seems sad that this would be an option and there's not like a person that could spend time with them.
The next one that I thought was sort of ridiculous is a $500 ice cube maker that uses AI to reduce noise.
