I like the idea of teaching programming young (sure as hell wish I discovered it when I was like 10), but let's calm down a bit.
This seems a bit forceful, like you're trying to force the kid to learn programming. Just expose them to it, and if they like it, they'll learn it. Too many people in college getting degrees they don't want because of forceful parents. -
@BitFlipped It's the way people who "aren't good with computers" say "learn how to code."
Also, the fact they included AI just triggered me because it's such a buzzword used in this situation. -
@jhh2450 Agreed. As a consumer though, I would only buy things with buzzwords. If I saw a product called, "Coding AI Neural Network Big Data", I would buy 10,000 of em

C0D4669027y@BitFlipped Its only intended for children.
There’s nothing you would accept as “coding” in these types of toys, By that I mean it’s not like they are learning java, c# or python or anything, it’s merely giving a toy a bunch of “left” and “right” directions to make it move around.
Great for small children (4-6) but beyond that it’s pointless.
As for the buzzwords that’s just marketing to non programming folk to buy it.
