The Rabbit R1 is as bad as it is cute 

😎 Yes 😎

Bankrupt by MKBHD

I'd argue that the product looks really nice...it's the just that, the R1 company is finding a solution to a problem that never existed.

Then just go bankrupt 😂😂, what's the point to waste money get a useless product 😂😂😂😂

I honestly wish they would let people use ChatGPT4 on it. Because I know they are using 3.5 API. It would make the Rabbit R1 100x better if they let you sign in to your ChatGPT account (since I have ChatGPT Plus) and use it for prompting, vision, and voice. I tested my Rabbit R1 against ChatGPT4 and the Rabbit R1 just gets completely obliterated against ChatGPT4 because it answers questions FAR more accurately, identifies images a LOT better, and it's more human-like in it's responses which feels natural, especially when using OpenAI's voice feature to carry a conversation with it about a topic.

​@@DerpyNoodIeyeah but if they did they'd charge you the $20 USD a month it costs. I think the 3.5 is free.

@@robertluong3024 I meant for them to add it as an option to log into your OpenAI account to access ChatGPT4 (especially if you're already paying for it) and also as an option for those that are willing to pay for it. Otherwise they can continue to use the default one at no additional cost. It would just be nice to have more options to what models you use when using the device.

@@robertluong3024The API is not free, it depends on the specific version of 4 you are using, but 3.5 is around a 10th the cost of the 8K tokens GPT-4, if I remember correctly.

Man, the more I watch vids on these AI disasters, the funnier and funnier it grts 😂😂😂

Maybe it IS

He told you it doesn't do much and it's a waste of money. What more do you want him to say? LOL

​@@enadegheeghaghe6369that was sarcasm (and it made me laugh)

@@supercurioTube my sarcasm detector must be broken. LOL

@@enadegheeghaghe6369 this time definitely 😆 that can happen 😌

A curious question: Are there people over eighty years of age who are very elderly people who own and will use modern smart phones???

EXACTLY. The hardware offers nothing that a smartphone can’t do. This device would have been impressive in 2005.

It isn't just an app. It runs a modified version of Android that allows Ai to interact with any app on the device. It's just a bad implementation of the idea.

​@john_hunter_ so basically not a shitty app, but a shitty launcher, got it.

because everything needs a stupid framework now.... does anyone still write their own programs from scratch?

You spent money on this thing?

Will you return it?

Paperweigth , or AI paperweigth

That's a good question. The R1 - runs an Android OS - is designed to listen for voice commands only when you press a button - doesn't run google services It should be super power efficient and last a long time when idle like you said. My guess is that the Rabbit app is configured to prevent it to go to sleep with a wakelock otherwise it was missing some replies or notifications from the backend. Just an extraordinarily poor implementation for a mobile device, there's really no excuse when using Android as a base OS.

The battery drain was fixed in the last update. It was a bug, apparently. Too bad nothing else was really fixed with the update, lol

Perhaps you need to consider why you bought this and all the other things in your drawer...while somebody else is enjoying your money 👌

MKBHD said on the podcast that every time they mention it in the podcast it gets more views/listens than any other episode. High level of interest.

To warn people.

I believe it's because the device is novel and looks weird and cool, and teenage engineering devices are usually met with love and appreciation. On top of that, we are in a AI-Hype bubble at the moment so it's just riding the wave of hype many other ai products have been riding/pushing along.

I think its because of its promises. They promised the world and are getting called out for it.

Choo choo! ... Wait, why is the train going backwards...!?

The Zune was a good music player. The Rabbit is not good at anything.

Phones would have moved on with AI by then offering the same experience. That is why they rushed this: Apple and Google have AI stuff coming soon.

+1

Don't insult the ipod wheel. LOL The ipod wheel was fast, precise and very functional

He mentioned that after the update the battery went from four to eight hours. That is still useless.

The feature roadmap is on the website , the teach update should be rolled out around October

@@LouieCartoon that may be, but the overwhelming moral of this story is quite clearly don't judge a product by what is promised. It could never be added.

Lmao sure Steve Jobs

over "I read headlines and regurgitate what I heard" ip

You’ll be waiting at least a decade.

Good luck with that

A 200 dollar phone in a rugged case would do a lot more for your nephews

What? So reviewers should lie to make a bad product look good? What exactly are you advocating here?
