It's a different target market I guess. I welcome innovation like this - it's possibly tackling the loneliness epidemic in however small ways.

This "with emotions like a living creature" should just not be allowed.

Its not even close to being the same product.

The reason some people fine Moflin terriying is due to differences between the Western and Eastern face reading.

In Western cultures, "mouth" is how one perceives emotions, while in the Eastern cultures, it's the eyes.

e.g.

You see Disney characters got all big mouths, while say, Japanese ones like in anime or Hello Kitty has small or no mouth but BIG eyes.

Same for Microduck. It's got gigantic mouth, while Moflin has none.

As a personal preference, I like anime/manga characters but not fond of disney characters nor other Pixar characters. they look terrible to me.

Black Mirror vibes

I find it terrifying

“I have no mouth but I must scream” is a Harlan Ellison story about an AI that tortures humans for revenge: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Have_No_Mouth,_and_I_Must_Sc...

I suppose Moflin is preemptive revenge against that scenario. “How do you like them apples, future torturing AI?”

Finally an AI slop I can keep as a pet. I hate this dystopia.
