- oivey 3y agoThat’s not a scam, either. They’re not being dishonest about what the hardware really is. They’re probably at least being unrealistically optimistic about the future software, though.

- iancmceachern 3y agoYes they are. It's not an AI assistant. It's a smartphone with fewer features and slightly different form factor.
- kube-system 3y agoAre Android tablets a scam too?
- iancmceachern 3y agoNo, because the title is honest. An Android tablet means exactly that. An "AI Assistant" does not. That implies it's something much more than it is.
- __m 3y agoWhy is it not an ai assistant?
- iancmceachern 3y agoThis reviewer seems to think it wasn't all that "assistanty" https://youtu.be/ddTV12hErTc?si=WGJLu6TwzYVgQ5wE https://youtu.be/ddTV12hErTc?si=WGJLu6TwzYVgQ5wE
- kube-system 3y agoSo? A scam is a scheme to profit by using dishonesty. Making something poorly, or cheaply, or not to anyone's liking has absolutely no bearing whatsoever as to whether something is a scam. Things can be (and many things are) gimmicky, early development, cheaply made, or made to someone else's preferences in a completely honest way. This is that.
