>It comes in two fun colorways
I'm all about getting excited and hyped, and I know they're just doing their jobs but (1) I can't help but feel a weird kind of uncanny valley/dissociation at some of the language choices and (2) non-evil Google was beloved in part because their interfaces, displays, communications etc used language that was engineering speak adjacent which carried a quality of sincerity that you just can't find in their modern prose.
So sure, I'll learn about "colorways", we're inventing the new future. But for better or worse this form of communication trains my brain to be alert to these "wait, what?" reactions. Another one:
>great for brainstorming new ideas or practicing something you want to say.
...Something I want to say? Wonder if they were watching Daniel Sloss before drafting that sentence.
