A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

ROFL Tone deaf and drunk on the idea that AI is going to rake in the cash...Sure hope that Mattel fails and doesn't produce any cursed products.
I hope they go all in on these products. C'mon, don't you want to see "Midlife crisis Barbie"? Comes with wine bottle that you can fill with water, and it'll look like wine. You can pour the wine down her mouth, and she'll wet her pants because she's passed out drunk.
And then NOBODY buys these millions of dolls. And Mattel just has to eat the losses.
That would be hilarious, but, given that Mattel are trying to directly market to children...It's probably going to be far more insidious and wrapped in a benign enough looking appearance.
