Don't follow the rabbit

AI washing rears its ugly head.

05 July 2024

I'm excited about front-facing AI, specifically natural language processing and generative AI. This wave of AI isn't overhyped or making promises it can't keep.

But it depends on which promises you believe. Take the Rabbit R1, a device concept I praised a few months ago. The concept is simple: it ingests varied instructions and information to deliver concise results to the user. If you need to book a trip, vocalise your plans, it will book everything. Need to buy groceries for a recipe? Show the R1 your fridge's contents; it will find and order what you need.
