If the AI is thaught to have good communication skills then even if the kid would benefit from it, the kid would end up expecting good communication from others and that would make him feel like everyone around him sucks ass in comparison to his AI friend
The monetisation of user data is really enshittifying products. At this point I wouldn't be against if a company would find it a "feature" to not require you to login/make an account and share data.
Not even talking about the switch portability but I think there must be people out there who only have a Nintendo switch to play game and if they wanted to play mk (and not buy a PS5/Xbox) then there was only one option left... Sad thing is that they didn't even release it to the PS4/Xone gens console.
The enshittification continues, not that I cared about Twitter before it was X, but the fact that such a massive social media with all this weight is going down only because of the actions of a moron who has enough money to buy it leaves a path for a sad future.
But not for you, only for your grand x 100 children
