Even paying that much for the website address, they will be able to sell it later (if everything is shut down)
sad A.I. friend. You really liked me as a friend like I like you. You'd pay for $29.99 package.
I think the Idea has potential. My hope was that it is just a small local llm. I think you guyses view has a bit been skewed by all the negative potentials of something like this. The movie scene is very biast towards that. There are a lot of books who explore also the positive potential for personal AI assistants, think the only positive one I remember in movies is Jarvis from Iron Man.
This is always framed on YT as āyou have to be sad and alone to like thisā. But I donāt think the potential of such AI is in replacing your friends, but in having an āentityā that is about your live. A kind of pet that can talk, like that robot dog on dr who maybe. I think most people will be able to separate this ārelationshipā from irl relationships. This to me is similar to a āNintendogā if you remember that game.
Soon as I saw the ad I know Marques and his folks were gonna have a field day with this one. This device is PLAIN STUPID!!!!
I completley get the point. Who doesn't want a "person" you can confide in and just talk to that is infinitely smarter. Yes there are definite red flags to consider. But I find myself using chatgpt and wanting it to act more and more like an actual person. I see this being the norm. I just want to be able to ask my questions and have the a.i. answer instantly. EXACTLY like "Her". And if it can be the scar jo voice they removed form chatgpt even better!
Chat GPT already is my AI Friend ā„ļø
Just talk to your cat and sing a song to it , like a normal person.
I can see how it was gonna always be innevitable since voice Assistants rising but now I'd have to say it's getting silly we want ai stuff to help us do things easier not be our friend why tf would you want a non human thing to be your friend how weird can you get as a human
AI startup idea: revive your loved one.
I.think.thus could be a hit.
Who wouldn't. I talk to my chatGPT everyday, and i cant wait the future i cant even know that it's AI.
Can you do a review on emo robot?
so will it know that i was just drugged, robbed, and assaulted?
11:00 it canāt be real. Itās an ad for a comedy film or something.
They're actually just trapping human souls in these pendants, that's why it's different if you break/lose it
About as sad as the life size barbie dolls from years ago. Fortunately, they're just trying to sell a company instead of making something anyone really needs.

mmmh, we've got a Hot Ones fan here
This is inspired from the movie "Her" (2013).
AI friends will prove invaluable to the aging Baby-boomer generation. Prior to AI agents (friends) tens of thousands of elderly people lived alone with poor health and diet care, slowly declining in mental health due to loneliness. Many died due to neglect. AI friends will remind the elderly to take their medications, to go outside for fresh air/nature, monitor their vital signs and contact family members and healthcare providers. They will also ask questions, make uplifting comments, read them books, and make them laugh.
I have to say, I am truly disappointed with what "AI" has turned out to be. From dumb chat bots to creepy ass art to fake videos, oh yeah, and marketing nonsense. I guess in Healthcare, it is useful as a diagnostic tool š and then, of course, the military š«”
If the pet rock were designed by the Stasi…
Again…couldn't this be an app? it's not like smartphone aren't always listening and looking.
Great. Now we are the tamagochi and the AI is checking in on usā¦
Oh my God if they have people outside talking to themselves when Iām trying to take a peaceful hike. Itās bad enough thereās people on their phone in the grocery store or people that canāt use their AirPods listening to music. I donāt need one more thing where people can be noisy. Iāve missed phones in peoples homes where I didnāt have to hear their conversations.
Awe, that comment about the family situation reminded of my current state of being. Thank you, I'm going away now.
I'm in …I don't care . Tech is the very best hobby…I bought the windows phone for Christ sakes .
Dave Eggers' "The Circle" is even more relevant to this product. My literary teacher made us read it in school about a decade ago š„²
APPLE BROACH FROM BIG MOUTH
that sounds dystopian
Ai has a lot of interesting potential uses cases, this does not seem to be one of them
This is another physical gadget that is hard pressed to answer why a new hardware device is called for in order to deliver whatās being promised. Most of what they demonstrate is already possible with a phone. And what is new could easily be accommodated by extending the reach of the phone in your pocket. This is all entirely separate from concerns about the deviceās utility, security and longevity.
Oh Wow It's Only Gonna Be $99 Bucks I'm Definitely Getting Maybe I'll Get Moxie As Well Around The Same Time And An AI Vacuum š¤Æ
I only see Luddites who do not see the potential of this type of technology.
We Love You Ai šļøš
we're trying to make elderly assistance devices for young people…more thinking needs to happened. Also whats the real differences between this and having your phone do the same thing via an app since we're already allowing it to access our privacy.
Nope. Never. Life used to be better and simpler without needing to have a gadget for ever aspect of your life.
