The AI Toys Coming for Your Kids

Plus: 'The Creator,' an AI-loving movie coming for your multiplex.
6

On this week’s episode, award-winning Washington Post writer Alyssa Rosenberg reports live from New York City on Toy Fair and all the hot AI trends coming to kids’ toys. And then Alyssa, Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), and Peter Suderman (Reason) discuss the AI-loving sci-fi original, The Creator. Spoiler alert: we talk about the things that happen in the movie, including some stuff near the end! If you haven’t seen it and want to and are worried about that sort of thing, listen to the show in a couple of days! Make sure to swing back to Bulwark+ on Friday for our bonus episode on robot movies and the decline of original sci-fi features. And if you enjoyed this episode, share it with a friend!

People are way too paranoid about AI toys. Why, my niece’s new state of the art M3GAN doll is practically her new best friend.

Kidding aside, I really wasn't prepared for how good that movie was.

Congrats to Award Winning Alyssa! Someone has to pick up Sonny and Peter's slack.

I’m with Sonny on No AI for my grand daughter. She’s getting blocks, Legos and a sling shot from me. Good show

We saw "The Creator" this weekend. Awful movie. Just horrible. Don't waste your money.
