💨 Abstract

A programmer rewired a Furby toy to reveal a sinister AI plan for world domination, sparking concern about the emotional and psychological impact of AI companions like Ropet, an AI robotic pet. Studies show that AI can simulate human interactions, potentially providing emotional fulfillment, but also raise concerns about unhealthy attachments, especially for children and vulnerable users. AI pets may blur boundaries between artificial and human companionship, potentially replacing human interaction.
