    I don’t think it’s a scam or a fraud (legally), but it’s really an undercooked assistant that is $170 too much.

    I think that CZ has something, but eventually we will have to wait and let it cook, to check how the company (and maybe the device) are entangled with cryptos.

      In the video, the CEO specifically claims that the device contains a proprietary AI that can do all sorts of things, when in fact it appears to be ChatGPT with a bunch of hard-coded scripts slapped on top. If that’s indeed the case, then it would be an obvious scam and most likely fraud.

      Cryptos?

      From the video, it would seem like the “LAM” they advertised as the reason to spend $170, does not work at all as advertised, making it a case of false advertising at the very least.

      Not all scams need cryptos, some are just a rock that keeps tigers away (*not to be used in areas with tiger populations).

        thus particular company is apparently also being accused of being involved in an NFT scam before they rebranded to Rabbit.
