The author expresses frustration and resentment towards the increasing presence of artificial intelligence (AI) in daily life, particularly with the introduction of devices like the Rabbit R1, a voice assistant and AI gadget that uses large language models and a "large action model" to make complex decisions. He argues that the device is unnecessary and invasive, and that its abilities can be replicated by existing apps and services. He also expresses distrust in AI making important decisions involving time and money, and criticizes the tech industry for pushing AI features into software, making the internet experience less enjoyable and more frustrating.

MKBHD did an interesting review of this device, and came to the same conclusion. There really isn't any reason the phone in your pocket couldn't do the same things this device is capable of, and has way more utility.
