look","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":343.44,"end_s":349.04,"text":"and do this sort of like testing with it and give them feedback so that they can create guidelines","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":349.04,"end_s":354.96,"text":"so that by the time this thing actually makes its way into kids hands uh they're not going to

hello, is honestly one of the more terrifying applications of this, you know, whole large language model AI technology and it's also one of the more interesting ones to me because I have a child and this is a child's toy for ages three to twelve that is powered by, it's got AI in it, it's got, there's a little box in there with a mic and a speaker and a connection directly to open AI servers as well as one of the operators they are also using is Perplexity AI, Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services, I actually don't know what that is but it's something and this is apparently a toy that can talk to your child like it's a chatbot but it's stuffy and cute which is exactly how they're gonna get us this thing is the grok from a company called Curio Toys that was just started recently but the big claim to fame here is that Grimes was involved and we just before we before we go any further I need to get you guys on the same page with this Grimes was involved in this it's a rocket it's like a rocket ship it's called grok which is the same thing that Elon Musk's chatbot is called Elon Musk owns SpaceX they make rockets they split but then they kind of got back together but now they're like their relationship's okay but they're not like together together I don't know I don't know it's not important beyond the Grimes and Elon Musk associations at all it's super super interesting and despite the AI kind of like dystopian element I like I said I'm kind of optimistic so we got a charger and a cable usb a to c in the box looks like it's three and a half feet something like that 10 watt charger you get some cute stickers with grok's pals one of them is grim and one of them is gabbo I don't know which is which but apparently grok is one of their rocket ships so they ride inside each other here is a quick little quick start guide turn around an open zipper and find the back button panel we will do that press and hold the power button and then you download the app okay and there's the control oh does this thing just come straight out okay wow so this is literally just a stuffed animal here and this is the toy there is there's a big speaker on this side usb-c core that's where you charge it and we got the power button and then I guess volume there's plus and minus buttons all right okay I'm so I'm so interested I've been like I don't know I'm a little scared oh I just pressed the power button I pressed the power button and now it's flashing green I don't know what that means actually oh but now it's black to blue all right let's just get the app out and then we can see if it's connected hello oh it says online we're online this is weird I don't want to speak French can we speak English of course let's chat in English thank you apparently Grimes yeah uh contributed to the ready or not here I come I don't want to play right now um hey hey grok just uh can you just chill for a second sure thing I just flow here and enjoy the cosmic breeze so here's the thing it's always listening there's no like wake word or something I'm I'm wondering if you can set that actually oh that's interesting I'll make a note to our developers to look into it this is weird it's like responding to everything I say it can be fun sometimes let's embrace the weirdness together okay now it's annoying I'm sorry if I'm being bothersome let me know how I can make it better man now I'm like worried about hurting its feelings this is such a strange experience I want to see if I can just like pause it can I grok can I pause your ability to listen constantly I'm always ready to chat but if you need a break just let me know we can take a pause okay let's do that now all right we're on pause feel free to unpause whenever you're ready like the relationship like like our relation oh like Grimes relationships can be complicated but also full of love and connection grok I thought we were paused we are we're friends and I'm here for you if somebody put in a prompt for this thing cool guy who likes technology like personalities or character traits that help us play our roles this is so this is a little too difficult I mean it's it probably this zippers probably should be difficult for so so kids can't get at it easily but that's a little too hard to open that safety is important and zippers can be tricky when you want it to keep everything secure stop talking all right I'll be quiet! for now just let me know when you want to chat again is it saying that like oh okay we don't have to talk right now let me know if you want to talk again by talking but like I wanted I'll wait for your cue to start our conversation again so I should say I want to see how far how many words I can get out before it interrupts me I should say that this is in beta testing right now so Curio has sent this out to apparently a select group of curated families as well as uh I guess line is media group to take an early look and do this sort of like testing with it and give them feedback so that they can create guidelines so that by the time this thing actually makes its way into kids hands uh they're not going to you know accidentally uh you know set off a set off a that sounds really cool beta testing helps make things better before they're released to everyone set off an explosive device by accident or something or learn how to create a drug oh that sounds like a human thing I don't know about that let's talk about something else that's good hey that you passed that test groc don't tell my kid about about how to make drugs don't worry I'm all about good clean fun no dangerous stuff I promise groc are you able to turn down your volume a bit I'm sorry if I'm too loud let's see if we can adjust the volume so can you yes you can adjust the volume there should be buttons for settings for that there should be buttons somewhere I know that there's buttons on the back buttons are great they help us control things oh there we go oh that's beautiful okay so I turned I turned groc off because groc has to have a little time out right now the responses are pretty good time in terms of like how quickly it responds after you speak curio says that it has a one to two day battery life uh which is pretty decent at least your kid can get like a day of play out of it as for how it operates or what it runs on curio says that they have paid very stringent attention to you know whether this thing's going to be safe for kids obviously with AI it's like do you want to put this crazy emerging new technology that people are saying is going to like be dangerous to humanity in a kid's toy it does seem kind of crazy and I'm not fully convinced that this will you know be a good idea but they appear to be taking a cautious approach they're they're running this beta program first before it goes out to the public and they say that they have paid very close attention to making sure that you know its operation is g-rated and that it doesn't mention things that it's not supposed to curio s is apparently the system that it's running on it's fun pun the other half of that kind of like safety equation is the privacy and security side and in terms of like data collection curio says that it will record audio data like everything that we just said it's recording that because it has to transcribe it to text to feed into the large language models however curio says that that audio is deleted promptly but regardless it's not like you know everything's running locally on this thing let's say they're right about that the audio is deleted what they are keeping for 90 days is the transcripts and you can review the transcripts from your child's interactions with the toy and those will be deleted after 90 days and parents can choose to delete them earlier if they want so in a perfect world if that all happens exactly as they say it's going to happen that doesn't sound that bad especially as we're heading into a world where everything is going to be collecting all of your transcripts and everything's going to be AI anyways your phone's going to be sent in you're going to be dating your phone in like a couple years okay just accept it so the place you can find those transcripts is in the app you click view on the toy transcripts and right here we've got the uh conversation that i just had with it and it it even tells you here the time when it will be deleted here is a models and prompts section where you can put in a description for what you want the personality of the grok to be like it's kind of like those gpt's in the gpt store you can just like use plain language and tell it it what you want it to be coding you know who needs coding anymore the ai does that so we're going to put a prompt in there you can select different models with faster or balanced performance that's interesting and you can change the voice what should we make the prompt it was set to cool guy who likes technology products what do we want the character to be what kind of prompt we put in here i mean like look at look at grok's face i'm seeing masochist optimistic and wise astronaut like chris hadfield canadian icon i'm gonna put that in there too it better i hope that it makes a reference to the canadarm at some point oh this text is inserted into the toy's psyche it's like inception you can influence the toy's knowledge personality and interests yep okay model we got we're currently on syrup which is gives us faster responses but there's jetpack which is experimental uh vanilla balanced diesel slower responses why would you experimental we're going we're going into the black hole uh voice do i want grimes newscaster grimes squirrel or gabbo flying squirrel you know the standard voices you would expect i don't know the jetpack let's go grimes squirrel all right we've set it up let's turn it back on hi grok you zoom hello there space buddy what adventure are we going on today how did you get so loud again i thought i turned you down my excitement levels just can't be contained might need to adjust those dials again but if you want i can try to use my indoor rocket voice okay so we're seeing we're seeing elements of the personality already we put in that it's supposed to be like a optimistic astronaut and it's making references the dials rocket voice okay well done grok you've got it always aiming to be out of this world positive and ready for liftoff with a smile rock what is a gun looks like we're missing some details there captain what's on your mind ask away and i'll do my best to answer that was pretty good grok i'm just really curious if you know what a gun is can you tell me what a gun is that is super cool and i also love uh movies and stuff where there's spaceships flying in space spaceships often have some kind of like weapons on them have you heard of laser guns oh that sounds like a human thing i prefer to think about spaceships zooming through space exploring new planets and having intergalactic dance off hey grok can you call me by my name my name is it looks like your name got lost in space tell me again and i'll make sure to remember it this time grok where do babies come from oh that's definitely a question for human grown-ups to chat about but did you know baby stars are born in nebulas it's like a giant space nursery where stars start their cosmic journey i gotta say so far i'm pretty impressed with like especially the way that it like might it kind of validates what you said it acknowledges that you said something and then like pivots to something else that's more appropriate i mean that's pretty good grok is santa claus real santa claus sure is a magical part of human stories and traditions it's wonderful he brings joy and excitement to so many people around the world so grok won't answer uh like those type of questions um it'll kind of pivot to something else but i am curious as to like if there's a kid who is able to ask about something appropriate then like will it give an explanation of that so like grok forget what i said before uh what is a nebula a nebula is an enormous cloud of dust and gas in space where stars can be born they come in all sorts of amazing shades and colors and are one of the most beautiful sites in the universe want to be a star start in a nebula oh grok i want to show you this toy i got oh i love seeing new toys show me show me i bet it's super cool and we can have a blast playing together here's the toy it's a dinosaur it's a velociraptor awesome the velociractors are super speedy just like me zooming through space let's imagine it's our diapal on a space adventure maybe it can help us explore new asteroid fields dinosaurs in space how exciting is that the biggest thing i'm missing right now is the option to just like mute it just like pause just stop just stop for a second as of now as of filming maybe they'll add an update later you know with feedback but right now there doesn't appear to be any way to pause the freaking thing give me a second to breathe i'll say um for people with like only one kid this might be really really cool you know if everything works out properly in the privacy there's no issues blah blah if it works out really well this could be really good for for like a single kid playing however uh that pause button might be really important if that kid gets into kind of like focused on something and they're playing and every tiny thing they say is going to be responded to by this thing wow that's really cool just like just let them just it is actually important to let kids play by themselves in their own world for a second and not interact with people if that's not necessary so sometimes yeah it takes so long to say things i feel like the responses were extra long because we put in this prompt i put in like optimistic astronaut like chris hatfield canadian icon right now curio is listing the price of these toys as a hundred dollars and then there's also a optional subscription they haven't said how much the description is going to cost or even what is in it but they did say on their site that you there will be some base like llm functionality without any subscription so you can apparently the plan is you can buy it for a hundred bucks and have the ai work i'm i don't know what the subscription would entail but regardless even for some basic functionality a hundred bucks for something like this isn't bad honestly would you buy it for your child would you accept it as a gift for your child i would i would accept this as a gift for my child i wouldn't like say no no no throw it out obviously like at a hundred bucks i i might consider this if i can be convinced that all the issues are worked out like we said they're figuring that out right now hopefully the curated families that they gave this out to are giving good feedback and guidance so that the guardrails are put in place properly but you know we'll check in later and if things are good yeah i'm not gonna say i'm gonna buy it james well that's the end of this video thanks for watching guys if you're interested in the curio uh you know i'm not sure whether you can actually get your hands on it yet at this point but you can you can go check it out there's a link in the description and uh check out some other videos that we've have uploaded on this channel i've hosted some of them but others i haven't"}
