Oooff ... I don't think it's like MKBHD to come down so hard on a product. But this thing seemed weird (and probably dumb) when it was launched and so I guess this lines up.

Not that a wearable assistant doesn't make some sense, but some former Apple higher ups who think they're good enough to disrupt the smartphone market by ... checks notes ... relying entirely on other companys' new/untested/problematic/maybe-just-shit AI services and pretending that all of the other "smart" devices we have just don't exist in some sort of volley in the ongoing platform wars ... really does kinda epitomise all of shittiness of the current tech world.

Can we hold ourselves to a higher standard than to post irritating clickbait? SEO bullshit is fucking cancer that need to stay rotting in Web2.

Ummm ... I don't think this is clickbait ... at all. The title? Sure ... it's from the video. But this is a big tech reviewer (whom, FWIW, I'm not particularly partial to) talking about a new product that is not only making buzz but, IMO, is somewhat emblematic of where tech is up to at the moment, especially regarding AI. It's, IMO, a fair review from a user's perspective and highlights reasonably enough how rough the idea of taking AI to the consumer market is right now.

Also, looking at the broader picture just a bit as I think I'm trying to, and there's an odd picture here which, again, I think touches on how the tech industry is going right now. Yes it's a 1st gen product, but the company isn't young and the pivot to AI seems glaring to me.

Maybe just scroll and move on if you're not interested rather than posting irritating content policing?

Expect to find more of this type of user on Lemmy.

I'm noticing a lot of people are just... "anti-everything".

Edit: Case in point: The person further down this thread who said your comment was too long LMAO

Why more of this type?

It certainly seems to be a bit of a fediverse stereotype though.
