Great. Another thing listening in on your conversations.

So, like an Echo except smarter? Or is this more about hooking people psychologically so they think the AI is their "friend?"

Interesting that they're starting with a screen less device. Is this because it's the right form factor, or just because it's easier to ship compared something that has a display, touch screen, etc?

Did they look at how other smart speakers are used and have fared? It seems unlikely if this is the physical product they intend to release. Hope they have a Spotify integration so we can listen to that sweet Ai generated music /s

Interesting how the AI companies are resorting to releasing devices themselves. Pretty clear the AI side of things can't sustain itself.
