Baby isn't being raised by a machine. How is this different from a crib mobile (for entertainment) + video monitor?

If it's the same as a crib mobile, then what benefit does it provide?

The effectiveness comes from exploiting the baby's primal recognition of the mother, which is why it's dystopian. Additionally, by "effective" you mean "the baby spends less time crying," which means that the parents are spending less time with their baby. So parental time is being replaced by an AI. I think it's fair to call that "being raised by AI."

I hope the "Robot nanny optimizes for minimal crytime" argument wasn't written by a parent. What a cold angle.

In theory. And effective at what? And have you considered the side effects of such a device?
