Youtube has been serving me videos of these gadgets that are like “personal AI assistants” for people who want to carry around an extra device that is just chatGPT with a voice prompt. It’s a super weird niche because we already have phones that do the same thing. It just seems like maybe they’re just kickstarter scams for gadget nerds who are bricked up over AI.

Anyways, every time I see one of these things, my cursed brain goes immediately to “god, what if I was dating someone and they had just gotten this thing after having preordered the kickstarter 6 months ago. Now they’re trying to find every possible excuse to use it in order to justify getting it.”

We’re at a restaurant and he’s like, “what are the best qualities in a carbonara,” or whatever.

Please help me escape this mental prison. Why am I doing this to myself?

    I imagine this to be pretty annoying but its still funny af, im sorry. But really tho, streamers and tiktok weirdos talking to their chats are similarly cringe to me. Also AR goggle people.

    I mean not too long ago people felt the same level of cringe towards people using wireless headsets to do calls in public and before that just phone calls in public in general.

    Not to say that this will become as normal as that but people still managed to just ignore the existence of certain people to protect their sanity.
