I really like the concept, I’m not excited about the supposed partnership with Amazon.  The marketing for it has that entire, “I’m not like other girls,” quality.  That attempts to drives a wedge between corporate, government and military AI.  Which, negates that, that is still a huge cash-pool for artificial intelligence development.  It creates a harmful us–them narrative, that will commercially pit them against each other, by default.  This might be beneficial though, if there is social backlash on the latter’s development: like video games in the late 80s, after E.T. the extra-terrestrial was released for Atari.

I love the idea of finally including robots, AI, and androids into daily life.  Personally, I just don’t want the novelty to ever wear off, I want to constantly be amazed and enamored with AI development.  I know it may, I’m prepared for it; but I’m optimistic and excited!

Also worth noting, it’s design is charismatic and adorable.
