Yeah op yikes to jumping to 'black = bad, white = good' metaphor space. What is wrong with you?
You're getting downvoted but I literally just got a memo at work last week reminding people to stop using the terms blacklist and whitelist and switch to block-list and allow-list.
Manna – Two Views of Humanity's Future by Marshall Brain https://marshallbrain.com/manna1
AI babysitter for infants to supplement – not replace – parents. Captures audio / biometrics and responds to the baby with targeted music, positive affirmations, cooing, etc, to promote positive emotional state. Also notifies parents of states that require their intervention, like hunger, soiled diaper, abnormal vitals, inconsolability. Parents can take a break, watch a movie, entertain friends, etc, with the comfort…
That's 100% black mirror, not white mirror. Babies being raised by machines is dystopian as hell.
As an extreme case, some parents get so stressed and chronically sleep deprived that they get frustrated at their babies for continually crying and shake them, leading to permanent brain damage and even death.[0] To be clear, these parents don't mean to hurt their child but they're not operating coherently anymore. A robot that can give parents a breather here and there would significantly improve quality of care for soooo many babies.

Batteries die and the parents are left without a clue how their child actually operates. They've been playing real life tamagotchi while their newborn evolves into an alien. Funny, babies are also way more noise than signal >.<
I like to think (and
the sooner the better!)
of a cybernetic meadow
where mammals and computers
live together in mutually
programming harmony
like pure water
touching clear sky.
I like to think
(right now please!)
filled with pines and electronics
where deer stroll peacefully
past computers
as if they were flowers
with spinning blossoms.
I like to think
(it has to be!)
where we are free of our labors
and joined back to nature,
returned to our mammal
brothers and sisters,
and all watched over
by machines of loving grace.
I think AI-assisted healthcare is inevitable and will probably offer the biggest improvement in the general population's health for decades, it will focus on disease prevention and flagging up those early warning signs that most people don't usually notice

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