Screenshot of YouTube video (paused at 1:28) showing a young woman in pigtails, dressed in a yellow top with a wide neckline and blue jeans, sits cross-legged atop a cooler on a rooftop, with other rooftops visible in the distance. She wears a red pendant with a glowing white light at its center and is smiling at a young man opposite her. The man is wearing an open blue button-down shirt and green pants, gazing downwards with a slight smile.
A compilation of selected comments trashing the microphone-enabled pendant follows, reading:

Don’t need this if you’re schizo already 🥰
To be fair, lots of us have wanted to wear a microphone that sends us lowercase text messages pretending to be our very human friend.
it feels like the ultimate proof that these AI techbros have no fucking clue what they’re doing, if they had any semblance of a clue they’d have started by enhancing voice assistants and letting you use voices from pop culture.
It’s so blitheringly obvious, but no, instead they shit out something that is objectively worse than what apple has had for several years now, SOMEHOW…
