Had not even thought about having kids in the house with an AI robot. Obviously there are the more apparent issues (asking about things they don't need to know) but saw a recent article about how ChatGPT and some other models have an implicit confirmation bias when interacting with users. I don't need my kid to reinforce bad ideas from their cute, all knowing, robot friend.

This is the kind of project I really want to make, especially now that LLMs are very capable, even the small ones. Just need a good computer to run the model off of. I wonder what happened to Mycroft? I looked forward to seeing more of it.

Mycroft was an open source alternative to Alexa.
