unitasking devices that do stuff a smartphone can do are cool actually, this is a device that claims and fails to do what a smartphone can do, or provide its own compelling feature-set at all. a scam considering how underbaked it is.
I mean the main transgression here is that it's literally just a slighly altered android ROM that hides the fact that it runs Android. It could literally have been a free app on your smartphone.
A unitasking device is fine, as long as it's doing something that could not be done by the multitasking device we already hurt the environment to create. Or it does so more power efficiently, or even offload a task that is burdensome for your phone to another device. This does none of those things, it just sends your voice request to chatgpt.
It also has dog shit battery life, so that's another knock.
