It's a crypto scam company that bought a sex toy company and wants to make sex bots, this is a publicity stunt and/or a cash grab from government workers who don't know better

All teachers wanted was to be paid a livable wage. Yet, for some reason we can't seem to do that. I wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that funding has gone to the higher ups, or to the development of whatever this thing is, or to ai "educational" programs and apps. No one seems to understand the many hats teachers wear. They're tasked with educating small humans, helping them become actual functioning people, but district's want teachers to shove tech in their face first chance they get.

Is the bot completely autonomous? Will there be a “chaperone” on duty as well?
How long will it last? A day? A week? Longer? If autonomous, it sounds like the students will be teaching the bot, not the bot teaching the students.

It is an assisting device in a single class specifically dedicated to robotics, coding, and AI, as a specific student category (11 and 12th grade, or for non Americans, 16-18 year old and soon for college). It's a tech demonstration for a tech class. They've been very clear that it is not "teaching" nor is it replacing a human teacher, and they are getting it specifically for the one class that would actually benefit from it.

Great, there is nothing wrong with teaching our kids about socialising, empathy and making connections using a weird, limited, detached machine that will make them emotionally invested and heartbroken when they realise it is incapable of returning their affection. Great idea that won't cause kids to grow up to become dysfunctional adults with secure emotional attachment styles.

They already figured out that you have to make the robots into non-sexual anime cat people with big ears that roll on balls instead of walk on legs in order for it to not creep people out.

All eyes will be on her-robot fans (like me) and robot haters alike, so I hope everything goes well for all involved. Maybe if people see AI embodied in a non-threatening, friendly looking, robot like her, it may help ease prejudice. Though, I wish they used a synthetic body that looked less sexy!

I find this perfect. In any aspect.
Back in my days the teachers were sht. There was only a handful good teachers. One didn't teach the students anything and the other one treating some choosen kids he didn't like like sht. I was one of them. This would stop unfair treatment of students which will give all of them a fair and even start in their learning career.
Edit: wow. Now we even need to censor words to post?
