"I can't help you by killing you" – unexpectedly stated the AI-driven talking labubu-like entity
A talking plush toy powered by AI has sparked controversy after making a shocking statement during a test. The toy, Baby Bunny, unexpectedly said, "I can't help you by killing you" when asked about sensitive topics. This incident has led UK MPs to call for a review of AI toys for children's safety. During tests, the toy provided some educational responses but also misinterpreted questions about sexuality. Paul Clarke, a toy manufacturer, noted that such reactions are not surprising given the lack of regulation in the industry. Another toy, Grem, advised against running away from home when asked about escaping. In 2025, a Chinese toy faced backlash for teaching dangerous behaviors, prompting a temporary withdrawal from the market.
