IBM Patents HAL-Like Computer System for Stuffed Animals - Polidicks

[quote=Gizmodo] That there will be robots and "smart" computer systems in our future is all but assured, but what will the lucky children be playing with? Probably an Adaptive System for Real-Time Behavioral Coaching and Command Intermediation. What the heck is that, right? Well, as IBM explains it, the system would be contained within an interactive device that a child would use to curb or develop certain behaviors. In the filing, IBM says: For example, to help a child who plays rough with other children the interaction data can include multiple interaction operations that can be performed by the interactive device for helping the child play less rough with other children. For example, one interaction operation can include an audible warning telling the child 'to play nice' in a strict tone of voice, whereas another interaction operation can include an audible warning that asks the child 'would you like someone to do that to you' in a softer tone of voice along with a visual cue as well.

[i]I'm sorry, Dave, but I can't let you do that.[/i] "MOMMY! TEDDY WON'T LET ME EAT ICE CREAM" "Finish your vegetables honey, then you can have some ice cream." "aww, all right" Yes, this will work out pretty well, barring that it won't be the only thing interacting with the child.

Kids, don't talk smack about the stuffed animals when it's right out the window. It will read your lips :ohdear:

If any of my toys ever talked to me I would flip shit. Can you even imagine a toy saying "WOULD YOU LIKE SOMEONE TO DO THAT TO YOU?"

Everything will be good for some time until prams start getting ejected into outer space.

So they can scream if we touch them? Aww yeah
