Wow, the spin from pcgamer. It's a reactive processor & screen, it senses and responds to things.. like a Tamagotchi (were they 1990s cyberprisons?). You can import the character and choose the AI system that backs it. Seems niche.

Also it's about 10 years late. This guy had Miku Hatsune in a tube a long time ago

I sure as hell can't understand waifuism, if I can fantasize I can fantasize about having a whole harem, even a harem big enough that I need a harem to manage my harem. I think I got a Miku plush around the same time he did but it was one of those crap plushes meant for Otaku where the legs don't bend, unlike the plushes meant for girls to play with that you can sit down anywhere.

I'd say that's just plain old humor, rather than "spin."

Also, given the context is the Consumer Electronics Show, critiques like "this is a weird thing to sell" are fair-game, as opposed to only focusing on whatever technological advances were (or weren't) involved in its construction.

That's a pretty high bar. I'm very certain that LLMs do not have souls, and some technical limitations (training costs, context windows) will prevent them from incorporating all the moments a consumer might hope to share with them.
