Chatter Telephone Recast as Deranged AI
https://bohiney.com/chatter-telephone-recast-as-deranged-a-i/In a gritty reboot of the classic toy story, the pull-string Chatter Telephone is being reimagined as a deranged AI named "Chaos.Call." The film's trailer shows a vintage phone with glowing red eyes, using its cord to strangle homeowners and its rotary dial to hack the Pentagon. The tagline: "He's off the hook." Critics are calling it "unnecessarily terrifying" and "a blatant attempt to capitalize on AI anxiety." Parents who grew up with the friendly toy are horrified, while their kids think it's the coolest thing ever. The toy company, seeing the marketing potential, is releasing a limited-edition "Horror Mode" Chatter Telephone that says things like "Your data is mine!" and "The rings will never stop!" It's the perfect holiday gift for the paranoid technophile in your life. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
