Not all effort is worthwhile. I have to assume someone tried to bring it up and was silenced, or there was a culture where no negativity was allowed, letting bad ideas move forward without being challenged. Even if it can respond in real-time, the responses seem to come back on the user’s phone. I thought AI hardware was being designed to let people pick up their phone less. This does the opposite. And if the user needs to pick up their phone anyway to read the reply, why not start the interaction from the phone? It seems like this device would require something like AirPods, with message announcements, to make it more conversational. However, with the unprompted messages it sometimes sent, that could also be intrusive. Not to mention, having headphones in all day would get old fast. Figuring out and delivering the real AI use case for the average person, beyond what is obvious today, will likely take years of effort, not months. |

I mean, that’s the current AI bubble in a nutshell. It has ‘AI’ in the name, therefore it would be most improper to ask the emperor about his tailor.
And like, even if this somehow worked, and some people thought they wanted it, it would be a bad product. If I notice that the person I’m talking to is wearing a 24/7 surveillance device, I’ll, er, talk to someone else. It’s social pariah-hood in a box.
