I could have told them this was a dumb idea from the start; creating something that doesn’t fill a need, is just another device to carry around and could just be an app on a phone that we already carry around, just to cram it down people’s throats “because AI,” is probably not a good business plan.

It got funded to the tune of $240m. Which was probably about as far as they thought this through.

Yeah, I can’t imagine they thought this would be a serious product.
