The use case of asking it questions is completely overshadowed by the fact that you need to look up every answer yourself to verify that it wasn’t hallucinated

[IkerUnzu]

I don’t understand what they’re trying to accomplish. We already have phones that can do all that in seconds.

[savagehunter]

These AI boxes feel like a product people would use in an alternate universe where smart phones are still being developed

[yayariru]

This is a scam company trying to ride the AI hype train. They did the same thing with NFTs. Please don't buy it.

[yjjk]

Basic UI/UX fail: You ask it a question, and the rabbit just sits there bouncing in the silence as if it hasn't heard you. It would be simple to change the animation to show that it's heard and is working on it, which would make that awkward pause feel so much shorter.

Marques is in his "calling out shitty tech" Era and I'm here for it.

[snazzy]

THANK YOU for calling out the insanely low wheel sensitivity. I thought I was going insane that nobody else was complaining about it. The UI on this is even worse than the Humane Ai Pin and that’s truly an accomplishment.

[skrr]

who's here after coffeezilla's newest video ?

[ayebing]

Don’t let unfinished/broken products become the new normal. That’s what they want. Keep doing these.

[THEBOLSHEVIK]

For kicks, I took a zoomed-in picture of the coffee arabica plant (which wasn't great, because it was a photo of an LED screen showing an image of an LED screen showing an image), and then used Google Lens. It CORRECTLY identified the plant in less time than the AI had to be wrong.

[patfov]

This AI-in-a-box assistant trend is like selling MP3 players in a smartphone era

[cheekarp]

If it cost $30 it might be a toy for kids, but other than that it does nothing a phone can't do.

[projectz]

love an AI buddy that just confidently answers questions wrong, just like having a real friend.

[romulofigueroadiaz]

The screen being a touch screen was a twist I did NOT see coming.

[jredubr]

Reviews are NOT advertisements. Thanks for being genuine and honest.

[bijhua]

Coffeezilla dropped the nail in the coffin on this one

[SpacesHyper]

I dont get what everyone is talking about, saying "This is mkbhds company killing streak"... Thank you for the honest review Marques!! Appreciate you.

[tonverfall_studio]

Definitely feels like, "Hi. Would you like to be our beta tester for $200 and a lot of device babysitting?" It's like a Kickstarter where you get this skeleton of a thing upfront, and then if they sell enough skeletons to fund their R&D, you _might_ get what you paid for at some ill-defined future point.

[sanpuru]

So many of these AI things feel like dealing with a dimwitted project teammate. They're assigned to do things, and sometimes they do get their job done well enough, but they still get stuff wrong so frequently that you always have to check and correct their work, to the point that it's ultimately just faster and less frustrating to do it all yourself.

Coffeezilla may have executed the Rabbit R1, but Marques loaded the guns
