    Ah yes, experimenting on poor Native kids with a robot that looks like a fucking sex doll.

    The long term goal is absolutely to remove educators from education. Robot is cheaper than a teacher and you control what it teaches.

    Yeah, that’s right.

    A lot of emerging technologies come from the sex industry. Believe it or not.

    It’s a very interesting phenomenon.

      The problem isn’t that the company also makes sex bots. The problem is an AI powered robot shouldn’t be teaching kids at all.

    Prediction: The kids are going to be too freaked out by the uncanny valley puppet-woman, and a human adult will have to continuously check the bot’s answers for hallucinations.

    If it is expected to grade tests and homework, there will be a misgrading scandal.

    So, these are in the uncanny valley to us…

    If we raise our kids with them, will real humans start to look like an uncanny valley to them?
