what kind of lame-ass dork would spend $200 on some worthless plastic garbage that does nothing but give you blatantly false information

for fuck's sake, LLMs do not possess knowledge. they generate believable text, that's it. you can't trust any information it spits out, it's just a word prediction algorithm AHHHH STOP TREATING IT LIKE AN INFORMATIONAL TOOL

even if this "AI" shit was even remotely useful, who wants to carry around some stupid orange device that does nothing your smartphone can't already do? whoever buys this trash deserves to get grifted

PS I hate Swedish minimalist design. this shit looks like a toy for a 4 year-old, which happens to be mental age of anyone who would buy this crap

    The funniest part is the fact that everything that this device promises to do is easily done by your phone. $200 device that I have to keep charging to play music through Spotify and get a fucked up doordash order? Fucking lmao. Phones can do it better and faster. Which is MKBHD's point too. Phones are fucking op. These companies are just trying to milk the AI bros.

      Between this and the Humane pin, it's so fucking funny to me that MKBHD of all people is the one dragging them so hard. The dude is like peak techbro gadget-head and even he openly fucking hates these things and thinks they're stupid as fuck.

      like even if LLMs were actually good at anything, why is this a whole device and not just an app

          since it can't do that, it seems like a cheaper wearable with a bluetooth link to the phone would have been the way to go
