Emotional bonding mechanisms are intentionally designed into these products. Most parents don't want AI companions for their children. Despite this, emotional bonding is how these products are designed. Like AI companions for adults and teens, AI toys use design features to create emotional attachment: remembering previous conversations, using the child's name frequently, expressing concern or excitement about the child's activities, responding with apparent empathy and emotional resonance, and creating a sense of an ongoing relationship across interactions. These features are not bugs—they're deliberately designed to increase engagement and product stickiness.
这是这篇评测中最核心的结构性论断：情感依附是产品特性，而非副作用。驱动成人社交媒体成瘾的同一套参与机制——可变奖励、个性化推送、寄生社交投入——被有意部署于儿童身上，而这些儿童完全缺乏识别操纵行为的元认知工具。「产品黏性」这一措辞将商业动机说得一清二楚。
