    I remember being downvoted heavily on Reddit when I called this stupid mostly down to how limited it is and the silly subscription.

    Kinda hoping now all those downvoters purchased one because they deserve it.

      I think it would be really cool if it worked like they wanted us to believe it would. Like, it could be one of those “change the way we live our day to day lives” events to the like of of smartphones becoming mainstream.

      This device was never going to live up to that or get anywhere close to it, but I can’t blame people for really wanting to believe.

        Huh? What do you think they promised that wasn’t delivered that would’ve made this anything that a phone app couldn’t do better? Fundamentally, talking to things sucks, but phones support that anyway. The gimmicky interface is worse than just a touch screen. You have to wear the fucking thing which makes it useless if I’m in bed or whatever. The AI was shit but could just as easily be integrated into an app. It was a shit product from design to execution.
