What Chinese parents see in AI toys

This video of a girl crying over a broken AI chatbot has gone viral in China. Xiaozhi AI is equipped with artificial intelligence and can have long conversations with 6-year-old Shisan Hu. The gadget and similar chatbot toys are part of China's multibillion-dollar AI toy industry, which is expected to grow rapidly. What is a black hole? What is a black hole? Some of these talking toys are making their way to the United States, where parents are raising concerns about chatbots and young children having inappropriate conversations. But in China, many parents like Zeley Fu are embracing chatbot toys. The father said that his daughter is an only child and that he decided to purchase Xiaozhi AI to provide a companion for his daughter. So in the control panel, Hu went to the character profile section and wrote out how the toy would interact with Shisan. So his father instructed the device to focus on teaching English and astronomy. Hu said he considers chatbot toys to be part of the family. For Shisan, Xiaozhi AI is not a toy. The father said one of the best things about the device was that it removed a major distraction. After talking to the chatbot every day for a month, it broke. Hu said that after seeing her daughter become so emotional, she became worried that her daughter was becoming too attached. In the end, the father decided to fix the toy because he believes that attitudes towards AI technology are changing.
