PSA - They do not have their own AI models, they use ChatGPT and Perplexity AI. When ChatGPT had an outage 2 days ago, the rabbit r1 was not working. It's a literal brick if ChatGPT goes down.
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.
@@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.
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.
I am so glad I didn't pull the trigger and purchased this before watching the reviews, that thing is almost useless. I'll wait for updated versions, if they fix the battery drainage.
Excellent video. My hopes were it would be faster to respond and have longer battery life than the Humane pin. But with these equally huge shortcomings you end up just gravitating back to your phone( which ends up being double the work for 1 query) suffice to say both of these devices are just not better than a smartphone and keep you more distracted by fiddling with them for longer
It's over, there won't be a Rabbit R2. They will transition to an app company. The investment wasn't high enough, you need billions of dollars to compete with Google and Apple.
Got my rabbit today and you can't open one single website without being subscribed to it. You can't teach it, you can't scan documents, pretty much everything that Jessie did in the announcement party is totally foreign to the one in my hand. So you will literally have to be subscribed to about 100 different sights to just use the device like Jessie said it would work.
How is battery life so bad on these things? It has a shitty, tiny screen that isn’t even bright and it doesn’t do anything on device. It should last a week on a charge!!
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.
I got mine and cant use it- i was barely be able to log in the midjourney but was not able to produce one image. Its cute but useless. Even the rabbit hole is so disorganized, there is no transcription of voice , wished that can do more but will end up in a drawer along to other things. Not unless there will be some amazing software update
I have the option to use ChatGPT in a browser or app on a phone. I have MetaAI to generate images on the same phone, and Google Lens for document transcription. Also, a phone does non-AI activities and saves every file type in existence. Without internet, a phone is still extremely functional. Why would anybody buy this orange brick?
In all honesty I think all of these AI devices will not be good buys until probably the 3rd or 4th generation. I would think roughly 2028/2030 there might be a really useful version.
Does anyone really want to carry this thing around in your pocket? It's chunky, the battery life sucks. You know what I would rather have in my pocket instead of this thing? $200 cash. Takes up less space and is far more useful.
I think this is being posted today but the content of the review might be out of date. The battery issues seem resolved on my end, the scroll is also quite responsive.
@@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.
If Rabbit can be faster, more functional, and with a more realistic human voice, I may replace my smartphone with it. Smartphone is not really smart and have so many negative impacts on human and society. I’m looking forward for a day when it’s good enough to replace the app based phones. I’m ready to say goodbye to little app icons, and have our OS1 moment with a true AI interface.
First of all, you can't be one to talk about how bad something looks when you're on camera with those dang bumps on full display on your forehead. Second, Are you just spoiled by that there Humane Pin or whatever that's called or something? BEcause this just doens't look anywhere close to bad looking at all. It's charming to say the least but certainly nowhere close to bad looking.
Honestly, this would've been a GREAT mp3 player, if sold for maybe 100 i do think it would have done fine. Yeah i know i cna jsut bring out my phone, but idk id feel like this device would is a good small alternative for the music player aspect
Honestly not surprised that the founder is apparently a former crypto scammer. This one at least somewhat materialised, but he's clearly used to selling people on ideas rather than real products.
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.
first, they never claimed it would be any good or useful. it looks like a toy and behaves like a toy. it is tamagochi++ and im here for it. just give it more personality and let me care for it. ill buy 2 for my nephews
How dare you call a bad product bad, you will bankrupt the company.
😎 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 😂😂😂😂

Man, the more I watch vids on these AI disasters, the funnier and funnier it grts 😂😂😂
It looks like something you would order from Temu
Maybe it IS
They tried so hard to make you forget the existence of smartphones, because obviously everybody can see this is just an smartphone app in a shiny box.
I’ve watched this video 3 times and I still can’t tell if Devindra likes the R1 or not. I wish he’d be more direct and not beat around the bush.
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

A curious question: Are there people over eighty years of age who are very elderly people who own and will use modern smart phones???
The fact that each review gets worse and worse tickles me to no end....I have to watch them ALL.
As soon as I saw it I told people that’s just an app wrapped into an overpriced Tamagotchi.
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.
Now we know what the Juicero guy has been working on.
I am so glad I didn't pull the trigger and purchased this before watching the reviews, that thing is almost useless. I'll wait for updated versions, if they fix the battery drainage.
made with Flutter framework. just App calling some API
because everything needs a stupid framework now.... does anyone still write their own programs from scratch?

I don't need an AI assistant or whatever. However I would like a smartphone with that form factor lol
"The rabbit does look interesting" in my plate😅
I think the new GPT-4o that just got launched, can do everything this can do but on your phone now, it can use audio, visual and text
I bought this to mod it with rootkits. Its a cool stylisj device great for tinkering with. Plus you get 1year perplexity pro which is worth £200.
It's over, there won't be a Rabbit R2. They will transition to an app company. The investment wasn't high enough, you need billions of dollars to compete with Google and Apple.
the lam if flaw from the begining if website use captcha then the ai will solve ?
A $100 Moto G does more than this.

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

Perplexity and a phone for the win.
$200 "worth" of e-waste.

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

just buy a phone

they should call is the GAMA NFT 2 since 1 failed. crypto 2.0 with ai ?
"Rabid OS"
Google Translate 😊
With the last videos demo from chat gpt4o with Real human AI discussions. Interactions, rabbit seems a toy from the 80s

Beginning of the end for AI?
20 year old hardware, with last years ai
Just got this thing. It is garbage. Lots of false promises.
That’s because there’s a lot of features that are not available at lunch.
good review, sir
Coffeezilla made video about this company. CEO of start up also made scam crypto coins couple years back. Dude is at it again and people fell for it.
Alpha/Pre-Beta products sold at fully featured, finished product prices.

Hi
So so pointless? AI assistance rubbish that simply doesn’t work.
Jeez, for $200 you can buy a decent smartphone.
Horrible product
Another electronic trash
I think this is being posted today but the content of the review might be out of date. The battery issues seem resolved on my end, the scroll is also quite responsive.
He mentioned that after the update the battery went from four to eight hours. That is still useless.
They took away the reason I bought it, the ability to teach it. This makes it 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.
The price point of $39 retail should help this doomed product.
the two zits on the forehead really give me a zit-popping fantasy
Hey look we invented Google lens
Except we charge $200 for it
In our data set is like way smaller and way slower

What a total waste of time for these tech companies to be reviewing these useless devices from 2003
Paperweigth , or AI paperweigth
Why not just have a Rabbit app and use a phone as the hardware? What a waste of time, money and well… everything
but markees was overreacting? lmao this thing was a nonsense since that expo
You should hate yourself for buying it. 😁
Very comprehensive and damning review. Good work
The fact that people have gone out en masse to buy that garbage speaks worse about the people than about Rabbit.
Why 🤔
If you don‘t like it, send it to me, i‘ll test it 😂
A 20$ eBay phone would be a better choice…… 🤷🏻♂️
Its a 💯 % SCAM watch videos coming out its just a big old scam.
My opinion is for children use.
Thx
Which year was this released in?
I have said it before, this device is a waste or money. It adds more bulk to your every day carry and your phone already does all of this better.
i don't know, i want something other than android or ios. does not have to be rabbit, but any thing else is welcome
What they need is stable APIs from those companies, officially. LAM is just a transitional plan before having those officials APIs.
If I want to have a portable device that’s not my phone, I will take my Apple Watch any day of the week.
Why does it get so much press?
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.
Gizmondo , Tapwave
Teenage engineering, teenage planning, teenage maturity, teenage attention span, teenage stupidity
+1
Version 2 (if it allows better battery storage and improved scroll wheel and better speaker) will be an improvement. It doesn’t do enough yet.
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.
That scroll bar and ok button looks like a weird copy of the iPod wheel
Don't insult the ipod wheel. LOL
The ipod wheel was fast, precise and very functional
Rabbit R1 is an app running on android and super-old hardware. It is a very badly designed product
