Maybe I'm just short-sighted, but unless the device can catch non-verbal signs that someone is about to say something that conflicts with your worldview, it would be hard to censor stuff on-the-fly.
Also, are we really at a point where we want to protect children from opinions?
- Thasc 11y agoRather than censoring it on the fly, the device could mutter 'he's lying, he's lying, it's not true' into the child's ear in a respectable, commanding voice. 'Your mummy will be so angry if you think he's right.' Since we're already assuming solid AI to understand what the speaker is saying, it might as well have enough capacity to whisper counter-arguments to the child until it detects that the child's convictions have been sufficiently reinforced. Automated conditioning!
