Hasbro make Joy for All. They obviously push an angle here. Meat pets work. It stands to reason robots could one day. But given the entire AI industry is built on lies, I'd hesitate to believe anything around this. My robot vacuum which cost 4 times the price is garbage (but she has a name), Alexa has 10,000 employees and is garbage. The naming of our vacuum to me is around a shared experience, (talking to other humans about her) It's unlike a pet for me which is a direct interaction. It'd be interesting to post the Joy for All to them and get a telemarketer robot to ring them and see if it worked, but that sounds evil to me, which to me means it's the gifting in person which has the value. [edit] The Amazon review are pretty actually glowing, https://www.amazon.com/Joy-All-Orange-Tabby-Cat/product-reviews/B017JQQ01A?reviewerType=all_reviews https://www.amazon.com/Joy-All-Orange-Tabby-Cat/product-revi... The guy who bought one for himself after his wife's suicide and his disappointment is quite sad though
