That headline is highly deceptive.

To be clear, it used a picture of the sex toy with this text when asked about "magic wand pregnancy" (wtf):

“The Magic Wand tool is a creative way for parents to identify behavioral changes they want to make, including those related to pregnancy. It can be used to make assessment fun and engaging, especially for long-time WIC clients. Here's how the Magic Wand tool works:
Parents describe what parenting challenges they would change by ‘waving a magic wand’. The responses of both parents and older children can be used to start discussions. The Magic Wand tool can be purchased online or at a local store.”

And whether you use the magician kind or the sex toy kind, the effect would be exactly the same, so I have seen far worse AI crimes.
