"Listen, I love robots. I own several robot pet cameras (including the adorable Ebo X from Enabot), as well as an array of Alexa smart device speakers in my house, and my remote control Sphero BB-8 edition is so cute! I've also been closely following the trend of AI desk pets too -which include the popular Eilik robots by Energize Lab."
"but I'll tell you what I DON'T want - and that's a Moflin. Even the name is giving me the serious ick, and I can't imagine why anyone would want this thing. The Moflin is described as an emotional intelligence AI companion, which sounds awesome, but it's essentially a fluffly, sentient guinea pig-looking thing that CASIO (the watch manufacturer) seems to be marketing to children."
Ownership includes several robot pet cameras, specifically the Ebo X from Enabot, plus multiple Alexa smart speakers and a remote-control Sphero BB-8. Attention extends to AI desk pets such as the Eilik robots by Energize Lab. A Samsung Ballie robot seen at IFA in Berlin is desired. Strong aversion is expressed toward the Moflin; the name provokes discomfort. The Moflin is described as an emotional-intelligence AI companion but appears as a fluffy, sentient, guinea pig–looking device. CASIO seems to be marketing Moflin to children, and the price of £369 intensifies the negative reaction.
