    I guess if the AI works well, it could have some niche uses. But as far as I have seen it doesn’t. It is also more marketed as a smartphone replacement, which for the vast majority of people it just wouldn’t be. Also the demo examples like booking flights are just moronic.

      Yeah the product they delivered is clearly not what was promised. I lost interest as soon as the subscription model was made obvious.

      Personally I’d just like my phone to allow others to contact me and search the internet, that’s all. I don’t need to text constantly, and other than lemmy I have no social media presence. Laser-display voice-control smart-broach actually fits the bill for me, provided it actually fucken worked at all lmao

      Also I just really like weird or novel tech. I was an early supporter of pebble and the only thing I regret there is not buying doubles.

        I honestly dislike voice control very much. Would be pretty annoying to constantly have people around who are talking to their devices. It’s already jarring enough when you are a gust at somebodys home and they scream at their alexa every couple minutes, ruins the mood a little bit.

          God I hadn’t even considered what “voice control only” would mean for public spaces. You’re right, that sounds like a nightmare.
