That Miiloo, from a Shenzen company, was maybe the most interesting one to me. It's one of the cheaper options and a top hit on Amazon when you search for "AI toys." It's mostly heavily moderated but really draws the line with certain CCP talking points.

Deadnaming a former Assistant Secretary of HHS and selfless public servant on her official portrait is an act of cruelty and a clear violation of basic dignity.
Admiral Levine served this country honorably. Targeting her, and all trans Americans, is bigoted, cruel, and completely unacceptable.
