I kind of think this is creepy-cool...Google gets AI teddy bear patent

Google files patent for creepy teddy bear | Fox 59

If it senses you’re looking at it, the fuzzy toy will rotate its head and look back at you. Once it receives and recognizes a voice command prompt, you can then tell it to control media devices in your home (e.g. turn on your music or TV).

And, IoT...Internet of Things.  Is this some new fad phrase?

FOX 59? That's from my hometown!!

MY sister has the Echo, "Alexa". She times dinner, plays music on command.  But with several people in the room, you have to yell Alexa to wake her up and get a response. 

Its bad enough I talk to my dogs.  I'm not talking to a stuffed bear.

[mama23dogs]

Everytime I hear the name Tina, I be like:

Teddy Ruxpin was the Chuckie of my day.

AS long as it isn't one of those blankety blank Furby toys, Barney or Tickle me Elmo.

Thanks for the nightmares.  Lol.

right back at ya...

"thanks for the ride lady" Creepshow 2 Best Scene (Thanks for the ride, lady!) - YouTube

I saw this way back when it came out.  My husband tortured me with "thanks for the ride lady" for months. Still creeps me out.

Well, that was a fun video at 5 something AM.....speakers were a bit too loud.

[mama23dogs]

LOL.  Sorry, (not sorry)

This is why I don't watch Walking Dead...

[Snn5]

I don't watch TWD because everyone else does, that and I don't do zombie-cheese.  I didn't even watch SOA until after the series was over.

[Khines5705]

I feel the same way. Anything with zombies in it or vampires. Yawn!!

[Snn5]

Well there is a big difference between Twilight and Underworld.

[mama23dogs]

Zombie stuff creeps me out, can't watch at all.  I cant even listen to people eating watermelon anymore.

and yet......

My 20 year old son has me hooked on iZombie on the CW.  It's without the gross factor of Walking Dead, the story line is clever, the actors don't make me roll my eyes.

[Snn5]

You lost me at CW.

[Khines5705]

LOL, I'd rather watch PBS than anything on CW!

[Snn5]

I run with a different demographic.  There isn't much on TV for people like me.  I am much more likely to find what i want on links from links within links on YouTube or DeviantArt.

FYI...if the boy makes me watch one more video about cars, I will develop permanent eye roll syndrome. 

I have proof of what I am dealing with....

Where's that kid work.  I need that type of cash flow.  LOL
