These are the thoughts of the small brown Teddy bear named “Bunny Bunny” sprawled on Jennifer’s bed. He is programmed to give verbal feedback to hugs and kisses and to blink. But the program gave him much more than that. He is now caught in perpetual stasis, capable of thought, forever awake, just the soft small thing on Jennifer’s bed.
“I would like to dream. I would like to go where I am not, and be who I am not. I would like to see what I have not seen. I would like to imagine. I would like to wish.”

Poor Teddy, especially when he's no longer the favourite.

A tale that suggests AI without the reference. An interesting idea that AI could create such a trap.
