Google Patents DEVIL TOY Which Will BRAINWASH KIDS

I was expecting the patent [1] to describe some kind of Amazon Echo, stuffed into a teddy bear with responses and a personality.

Instead, it seems to turn the toy into a glorified TV remote that sends "media device commands to a media device, instructing the media device to change state".

Shame about the click-baity article, I though this had potential for an interesting discussion about AI around children.

articles in the register are unreadable because of their overly sarcastic tone
