But maybe people would like a standalone device, without the distraction a regular smartphone brings.
I’m not defending this thing as AI in its current state is near useless, bar some niche applications. But the decision to make it a standalone device isn’t really controversial in my opinion.
I think that you’re in the minority with that opinion then. I don’t want another thing to carry around. And I don’t see how this would be less of a distraction seeing as it doesn’t do anything useful. To me that makes it more of a distraction. If you want to not look at your screen to perform tasks that’s already an option with your phone using Siri or Google’s assistant.
