At least the creepy orb is trying to solve a problem that actually exists. Namely how do you know the guy you are talking to is a real person? And especially, how do you know the guy you are donating money to is a real person?
A glass of juice solves the problem of wanting a glass of juice... Both products solve a problem in a worse way than existing solutions.
I’ll know he’s a real person if he gives me a glass of juice.
