also the fact such a thing would need a internet connection to even work, maybe in time something run locally would be fine. I think with the developing use of AI Chat stuff is bad unless it is used offline/locally on a server you own.

Will AI be soft, furry, and snuggle-worthy in the future?


It's probably only a matter of time before someone sells a plushie with AI features.

Trouble is, it'll be quietly phoning home with everything it finds out about the owner, for marketing and (perhaps) law enforcement purposes. AI might be very useful, but AI run by anything with links to big business (such as ChatGPT) is NOT your friend. Feigning friendship and acting all cute are favourite tricks in the marketing world. A real dog wouldn't be that fiendish, and nor would most humans. So carry on with AI, but be aware of the risks.


I'm not saying an AI enabled plushie is a good thing, only that it's probably inevitable.

Sure, I hope I didn't imply you were. I posted in the interests of the entire community, some of whom might be walking into a bad situation.

Yes offline is much better if you have the processing power and the program. But I fear these things are getting too big for the average citizen to host. Don't know if you can download a personal copy of ChatGPT or how much system resources it'd need to run. Everything's getting connected to cyberspace. Even toothbrushes. I think we're being pushed further and further away from local stuff as time goes by. So the makers will soon be able to disable whatever stuff of "ours" they like.

Incidentally, ChatGPT has now let me back in again, along with the option to use it without an account, and it doesn't seem to know anything about them locking me out for deleting the cookies and otherwise trying to circumvent the "create an account or go away" antics. So it's no good my asking it why it happened. They've given up, for now. I recommend anybody getting dependent on ChatGPT to have a special email account for spammers and other bad actors, using a false name etc., all ready for when they try their trick. I've got one but I prefer not to even give that out if I can help it.
