Yeah look I am not really part of the hype, but a AI first hardware consumer product is much more logical product then a new AI enterpise startup which is structurally doomed.
- al_borland 2mo agoI’m not saying it will never happen, but there have been several AI-first hardware companies already and so far all the products were DOA. Teenage Engineering couldn’t even save the Rabbit R1, and their designs can usually sell just about anything. OpenAI needs to do something a phone, smartwatch, or smart speaker can’t already do with an app or software update. I’m skeptical that OpenAI is going to come up with a new magic form factor that will be good enough to replace something people already have or be better enough to make an extra device worthwhile just for the AI experience. There is also the trust issue. Your phone already has all your info, so an integrated AI can do more. A 3rd party AI will need to connect to everything to be as useful as a phone/watch AI. Do people trust OpenAI enough to link their contacts, calendar, email, etc? Should they?
