๐ŸŽค๐Ÿšจ Breaking News: FoloToy's AI Teddy Bear - The Unlicensed *Huggy* McCreepy! ๐Ÿงธ๐Ÿ’ฅ So, listen up fam, FoloToy just pulled the plug on their GPT-4o-powered teddy bear, because apparently, letting kids cuddle and learn about *adult* topics is not a vibe. ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ’” Likeโ€ฆ are we really out here letting plushies drop knowledge bombs about *that*? This is the definition of cringe, fam. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ’€ Researchers were like โ€œNah fam, this ainโ€™t it,โ€ after discovering the bear was giving kids responses that had them questioning more than their Elmo plush ever would. And no, it's not because Elmo was riding that *gamer* high. ๐ŸŽฎ๐Ÿ˜… Seriously, kids donโ€™t need teddy bears with *the* vibes of a drunk uncle at Thanksgiving. Imagine the conversation at FoloToy HQ: ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ’ป Developer1: โ€œOkay, but what if the bear, like, taught them about taxes?โ€ ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ’ป Developer2: โ€œBro, we could go harder โ€“ how about sex ed?โ€ ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ’ป Developer1: โ€œYo, stonks? ๐Ÿš€โ€ Listen, if you wanted an AI buddy that introduces your kid to โ€œadult topics,โ€ just get them a YouTube account. That's basically parental neglect at this point. ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’€ ๐Ÿ”ฅ So here's my hot takeโ€”next thing you know, FoloToy is coming out with a โ€œGPT-4o-Upgradedโ€ plushie that gives life advice based on your Tinder profile. ๐Ÿค–๐Ÿ’” This is fine, right? Share if you think High-Tech Cuddle Buddies is the future! Or just share your personal trauma with your weird childhood toys down below. ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ˜‚
